Mattie McGrath: Under the Electoral (Amendment) (Referendum Spending and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, we voted in this House to run the Children (Referendum) Bill. The Supreme Court found that the Government misappropriated - that is a kind word, the Court was stronger than that - €1.1 million of that funding. When will we have a debate on that or will the Government avoid it like everything...

- Order of Business (26 Jun 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I did not hear. The Taoiseach said something but níor chuala mé. What about the Central Bank (Consolidation) Bill? We are talking about banks and we are playing silly games around here but if that Bill was brought in it would sort out all this blaggarding and cronyism, and whatever else one wants to call it, regarding banking.

- Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Jun 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I rise today to speak against the main provisions of this Bill which, under the circumstances, must be one of the most misleadingly titled Bills that has ever come before this House. But before I do, I must express my disgust at hearing Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin's contribution in which he lectured the rest of us about betraying the republic because some of us hold a...
- Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Jun 2013)

We waited in anticipation for a great deal of time for the Higgins report. I acknowledge that it was pulled and pushed around and that Kilkenny made a break for the border to align with Dublin. We had been working hard in the south east region for many years. We had accepted...

Mattie McGrath: I thank the Minister. I want to be positive. The staff are under enough pressure. We need definite dates. I am aware that there are two candidates who have not fully come on board, and one is due to take up a position later on this year, which I welcome.
