- Statutory Sick Pay: Motion [Private Members] (23 Oct 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I am delighted to speak on this motion. I cannot believe the Minister for Social Protection or the Minister of State at the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Perry, could stand over these policies. As a businessman, the Minister of State, Deputy Perry, should know better. He stated the Government is profoundly aware of the role that small and medium-sized enterprises...

- Topical Issue Debate: Health Insurance Cost (24 Oct 2012)

That much was stated clearly on the record of the House. We do not get proper answers...

I have a large family and our...

- Prospects for Irish Economy: Statements (Resumed) (25 Oct 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I am pleased to speak in this important debate on the economy. It is important that we mean what we say and try to give credence to the issues we talk about. I listened to the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste speak yesterday. I do not know if it is all in their minds or all spin to be talking up the economy as they are. I notice their stated aim in the programme for Government is to...
