Mattie McGrath: I too want to wish every Minister and the Taoiseach the very best. I will not support them in the vote, if one is called, but I wish them well.

Mattie McGrath: I did not interrupt him. The Government is controlling the people. They cannot heat themselves tonight in their homes, given the price of home heating oil and then there is the carbon tax on top of that. It is such a time to put on carbon tax when people are under pressure anyway. Thankfully, we have seen oil prices go down and there has been a bit of relief. There is control there....

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jan 2023)
Mattie McGrath: I too am not satisfied with not having questions and answers regarding the Minister, Deputy Donohoe. We have statements before European Council meetings and post European Council meetings. When will we have pre-visit to Davos statements? The Taoiseach said he will only be there for a day and a half and that he would like to be there for a week. Frankly, I do not care how long he stays...

- Climate Action Plan 2023: Statements (18 Jan 2023)
Mattie McGrath: This plan is a typical con job by this Government, particularly by its Green Party component, and the people who support it. We had the COP shenanigans and the cost of all the aeroplanes that flew out there. They try to use fear. I definitely did not want the book referred to but I got it in the post as well. I did not ask for it, I did not read it and I will not read it because I know...
