- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: I thank Mr. Sheahan. I will not go into the other recommendations. This is the committee at which our guests will get the best hearing in respect of horse racing. Uniquely and unanimously, the members of this committee have a keen interest in seeing horse racing in Ireland succeed. Our starting point for all of these interactions is to consider what is in the best interests of Irish horse...

Matt Carthy: I do not mean to come across as facetious, but I am more concerned about the independent members of the board. What criteria are being put in place?
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: We have talked about what is quite simply a Fianna Fáil stroke by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to table a last-minute amendment that will allow political parties to raise money through a lottery licence. Of course, the reason he is doing that is because that practice is currently illegal. Back in the 1980s, the Taoiseach will remember that Fianna Fáil...

- Annual Transition Statement: Statements (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: It is no surprise that the publication of the annual transition report comes 18 months after the statutory deadline before which the Minister, Deputy Ryan, was due to deliver it. It is no surprise because the three Government parties, Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party, have met none of the climate targets they set. Unfortunately, the Government is following a familiar...
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: If I welcome anything from Deputy McAuliffe, it is his acknowledgement that everything Sinn Féin does related to fundraising is within the law and is done legally.
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: We do it because it is legal. That is what Deputy McAuliffe is so antagonised about. Fianna Fáil was exposed as breaking the law in the fundraising activities it engaged in last year. Of course it is legitimate for political parties to raise money through legal means and of course it is legitimate for people to support a political party they share the views and beliefs of. All of...
