- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Sep 2020)
Mattie McGrath: We have a meeting tonight and I hope we can at least discuss it then. We will wait for the proposals certainly but, for the record of the House, I have been making proposals at each meeting and the Sinn Féin Whip was there the last day and he did not support me. He said he might support me. That is a fact and the records are there to prove it. Hypocrisy goes on.

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Third Level Costs (9 Sep 2020)
Mattie McGrath: In view of what the Minister said, I wish to ask about the situation regarding students returning, college fees being demanded up-front and the students not getting refunds. There is also the fact that there is limited broadband in rural areas. Will the Minister talk to the Minister with responsibility for housing about the huge difficulties with accommodation?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Third Level Costs (9 Sep 2020)
Mattie McGrath: In the first instance, I thank the staff in SUSI. They are doing an enormous job and they are under great pressure this year. They have got on top of their game in the last number of years and they do excellent work. I also welcome the leaving certificate results. Everybody involved with that, including the Minister, Deputy Foley, all the staff, families, students and schools, worked...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Third Level Costs (9 Sep 2020)
Mattie McGrath: I appeal to the Minister to work with the Minister with responsibility for housing, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, because while there are many good providers, both public and private, there are also rogue operators who make enormous demands of students. Then there is peer pressure, with students worrying that they do not have a place. The scramble for accommodation every year is unbelievable. ...

Mattie McGrath: Ar an gcéad dul síos, I want to say that we in the Rural Independent Group have supported each and every measure we have been asked to take, as have the people throughout Ireland. They have put their shoulder to the wheel and accepted anything that was put to them in the hope of defeating and destroying the virus and of flattening the curve. We succeeded in that. As...

Mattie McGrath: Yes. I am almost finished. I am calling on those Members to pony up, not go out and tell their constituents one thing and then come in here and vote differently.
