Matt Carthy: Two weeks ago, a young boy was playing a football match in County Monaghan when he suffered a serious injury involving a complicated fracture. The medical advice was that he should not be moved until an ambulance arrived. It took three hours for the ambulance to arrive. In this week’s budget, the Government has underfunded our health service. How long will young children be...

Matt Carthy: Regardless of whatever spin might be put on this budget by the benches opposite, the truth is that housing remains the greatest challenge facing Irish society. The Government's message in budget 2024 is that the housing crisis is going to get worse, not better.

Anyone who has met them knows there is going to be a public inquiry into why the man who killed Shane, who should have been in prison at the time, was not in prison and the handling of the case by State agencies before and after Shane's...

- Final Report of the Independent Scoping Exercise into the Circumstances surrounding the Death of Mr. Shane O'Farrell: Statements (17 Oct 2023)
Matt Carthy: Much of this debate centred around a previous decision of both Houses of the Oireachtas. Tonight, we had a debate with 22 speakers, 21 of whom reiterated the need for the implementation of that report and one, being the Minister, said that she refuses to do that. What options are open to the House in the case where a clear decision of the House is completely disregarded by the Government...

As he indicated, there are a number of areas on which we would like to have a detailed discussion, but it is clear today and this week that the priority for the coming period will...

Matt Carthy: Will the Irish Government today call for an immediate cessation of hostilities by all actors, including the Israeli Government; the release of hostages, absolutely; and an immediate ceasefire by Israeli forces and Hamas forces?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs Council and Departmental Matters: Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and for Defence (17 Oct 2023)
Matt Carthy: Actually, the Tánaiste has not answered the questions I asked. I do not know why. Maybe he can explain. I asked him to call out and condemn specific breaches of international law by Israel. I do not know why we are afraid to do it. If I had asked the same question about Hamas or Russia, he would have had no hesitation in taking the opportunity. He says there is no equivalence but...
