- Financial Resolution No. 4: Income Tax (13 Oct 2015)
Mattie McGrath: On face value, this initiative is welcome. I understand it was first announced in last year's budget. Like the Fianna Fáil spokesperson, I am interested in hearing from the Minister on what basis it was reviewed given it was only recently sanctioned by the EU. There are many issues arising regarding nursing homes. There is no doubt that we need additional nursing homes. We all...

- Order of Business (14 Oct 2015)
Mattie McGrath: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the EirGrid Bill. People in Tipperary and other counties have been fighting against the might of massive companies for the past few years. There is a lot of subterfuge and we now have an announcement prior to a general election that it is being deferred or that it is to revert back to the old policy of using existing lines. People simply do not believe...

The Minister did promise and did deliver and road hauliers are very happy...

Mattie McGrath: I wish the new recruits well. I sympathise with the family of the unfortunate garda Tony Golden who lost his life in the course of duty this week and who will be buried tomorrow. Gardaí have to face such situations as part of their day-to-day work and the community must support An Garda Síochána. When are the new recruits going to have the training and the necessary...

Mattie McGrath: Since 2009 older people in the State and pensioner households have lost €13 per week and now the Government is giving them back €3. Is the Government not wonderful?

- Financial Resolutions 2016 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (14 Oct 2015)
Mattie McGrath: Pensioners are being undermined by the Labour Party, of all parties. Deputy Brendan Howlin holds a prestigious position among the big four in the Government, with the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach, but 100,000 older people are living in deprivation. They are not my words but those of respected organisations and the likes of Fr. Peter...
