- National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (6 Feb 2019)
Mattie McGrath: The Minister cuts a lonely figure in the Chamber. Not one backbencher in his party or member of the Independent Alliance which is keeping the Government in power is present to support him. There are five Ministers in the Department of Health. Where are the other four? I have nothing personal against the Minister. I congratulate and compliment him and his wife on their new baby and...

- Nurses and Midwives Industrial Action: Statements (7 Feb 2019)
Mattie McGrath: We value our nurses. They are the angels of mercy. They work very hard in conditions so unbearable that they are fleeing the system and country. Many have become ill. However, the Government does not respect them, this House or the electorate. If it did, the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, would have left his position long ago. I refer to the appalling vista of the children's...
