Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Pay and Conditions of Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors: Discussion (5 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: I am not being personal. I am challenging a system that has failed and is failing its employees. As for the seriousness of this issue, this does not pertain to the position of ordinary employees but affects health care. In the aforementioned huge system there is a huge disconnect. Plans are unfurled and one must dig into them to find out the small items of concern to oneself. They are...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: I dtús báire, ba mhaith liom a rá go gcuirim fáilte roimh seachtain na Gaeilge sa Teach seo agus ar fud na tíre freisin mar is deis mór é seo ár dteanga dhúchais a labhairt. Ní minic a chloistear an Ghaeilge sna sráideanna nó sa Dáil agus áiteanna eile, agus is mór an trua é sin. Ba cheart go mbainfimis...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: However, the taxpayer is a lot stronger than the Taoiseach might believe. Why did the Government not start with na daoine láidre who are earning €100,000 per annum or more? It is always the same with the Taoiseach, who looks at the ordinary people, appears to see a euro sign and thinks they will take all the pain. Chuala mé an Tánaiste ar an raidió ar maidin agus...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leis an Taoiseach as ucht an mhéid a bhí le rá aige. However, the Taoiseach still is not getting it in respect of na daoine go léir atá ag obair. They are waiting and tá siad go léir ag léamh na nuachtáin. Members are giving it time and no Member on this side of this House is being reckless with...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: It is unfair for Airí to be ar an raidió agus ar theilifís ag rá rudaí ar nós while they left, they will not be punished, but those who remained inside will be rewarded. That is not a just system and such comments should not come from any Cabinet Minister. However, I note an tAire, an Teachta Varadkar, agus cuid eile acu freisin have made such comments. This...

Order of Business (6 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: Tá dhá ceist agam. Maidir leis an céad ceann, I refer to the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Amendment) Act 2011. Nobody is sorry to see Anglo Irish Bank imithe and not many were present for its sochraid or funeral. However, two issues arise, the first of which is a human issue. Some of the workers at Anglo Irish Bank visited the House twice in the past...

Order of Business (6 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: Yes, only cúpla seachtaine ó shin we passed legislation on this issue in the middle of the night. There is a human story in this. We spoke about fairness this morning agus gach rud mar sin. The staff of Anglo Irish Bank must be treated fairly. They have given sterling service and, as such, they are entitled to be respected. They are now helping the receiver to recoup what he...

Health Insurance: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Mar 2013)

Mattie McGrath: I apologise as I was delayed. I compliment and thank the proposers of the motion, which is worthy. We must examine the issue. The population is ageing and, by extension, will become sicker. We discussed the costs of various issues, including generic drugs, in the term of the previous Government. I am a victim of the system myself. I was rushed to a private hospital in the city last...
