- Public Sector Numbers: Statements (8 Mar 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I sympathise with Deputy Murphy and the Acting Chairman on the outrageous events in their county in recent days.

- Public Sector Numbers: Statements (8 Mar 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I am saying the company was fined more than $16 million. He was CEO and the buck must stop at the top. He should stand aside and come before the Oireachtas committees.

- School Staffing (8 Mar 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I welcome the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, to the House. The Government must have anticipated the Labour Party would be holding its party this evening given he has been left to respond to the two remaining topical issue debates.
