- Non-Use of Motor Vehicles Bill 2013: Second Stage (24 Apr 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I am. I am pointing out that when one gets away with robbing millions it is easy to rob thousands from people. The figures are in the Minister of State's speech. This is unbelievable.

That is a disgraceful supposition to be making. It casts a slight on the people and...

Mattie McGrath: On the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Bill 2011, I will not mention names today but we know the bankers who are getting huge pay. I raise this issue with the Tánaiste because of the actions of the banks. The Central Bank of Ireland does not have a code of practice by which it can restrain what can only be described as hit men who are going out and intimidating people, be...
