- Order of Business (20 Mar 2018)
Mattie McGrath: It is not agreed to. I refer to the motion regarding an extension of time for the Citizens' Assembly. I have said repeatedly that this is the citizens' assembly, to which, thankfully, we have been elected. The Citizens' Assembly had cost €1.8 million up to December last year, according to a reply I received to a parliamentary question. RED C has been caught with its pants down on...

- Order of Business (20 Mar 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I am not doing so. We have received no indication that there will be an independent investigation into what happened when members were picked spuriously or into what RED C did. It has carte blancheto do what it wants.

Mattie McGrath: I have received information from the Road Safety Authority, RSA, in response to a parliamentary question. The RSA has said that nationally, a total of 44,746 applicants are waiting to be scheduled for a driver test. This concerns the addendum of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, to the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017. He has added a provision affecting learner...
- Order of Business (20 Mar 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I am asking about the number of people waiting for driver tests. The Minister, Deputy Ross, is trying to take all drivers with an L-plate off the road and lock up their parents if necessary.
- Order of Business (20 Mar 2018)

- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I am happy to speak on the motion. As far as I am concerned it is high time the Taoiseach's spin factory was consigned to history. The Taoiseach comes into the Chamber and tries to persuade us that black is white and white is black. It is not a spin unit. He tells us it is all about informing the people, but he is sadly wrong. We have an educated electorate that can see what is going on;...

- Leaders' Questions (21 Mar 2018)
Mattie McGrath: This is World Down Syndrome Day and I know that the Taoiseach will want to join me in sending good wishes to all members of the Down's syndrome community and their families in Ireland and throughout the world. I wish I could say services for people with Down's syndrome and other intellectual disabilities were even adequate in the State, but, sadly, they are not. Under the Disability Act...
- Leaders' Questions (21 Mar 2018)
Mattie McGrath: That answer is pure useless, toothless and fruitless, for that matter. Instead of a €5 million spin machine, would the Taoiseach install mirrors in his office and get a gramophone that will tell him that he is in power, in government, that it was not like that when he got here, that he has been in power for seven years now and should stop blaming the past for everything? He should...
