- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: It boggles me to hear the Taoiseach refer to a sunset clause because this cohort of 5,000 people will never see sunrise or sunset. They will be locked in their homes. This was a very specialised grant. The legal issue has been known for five years. The Ombudsman brought it to the last Government's attention. The Taoiseach promised a new era of transparency. He has known about this for...

Mattie McGrath: To make it worse, the backbenchers over there-----
- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I will talk to the Chair. The backbenchers over there knew about this for two days or more. They knew this was coming. They knew it last summer so they should have put it to bed once and for all. Will the Taoiseach find the moral courage to stand up to his officials who are pushing this on him? He is too weak to resist.

- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: When will the Taoiseach act on the mandate he received from the people over two years ago, be a man and stand up for what he believes in and what he promised the people, and not blame everything on the past Government? I heard John Dolan of the Disability Federation of Ireland on radio this morning. The Taoiseach had a path worn going over and back to Buswell's Hotel to meet him and make...

- Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2013)

- Order of Business (27 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: The Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment Bill) 2013 will be taken on Friday. However, there is an anomaly in that estates classified as category 3 and 4 in the household charge and were deemed ineligible for the household charge tax are now included in the house tax. South Tipperary County Council submitted an estate in my constituency-----

- Order of Business (27 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: There is a disconnect between the Department and local authorities. Will the Taoiseach clarify the position on this as it is important for the householders who live in unfinished estates?
- Order of Business (27 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: It is pertinent to the Bill we are taking on Friday. On Monday, we heard, with great fanfare, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government announce that 25% of the jobs to be created by water metering would be given to the unemployed and local small businesses. However, I have a letter in my possession from a small business-----
