- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Feb 2023)
Mattie McGrath: Is the Government trying to address the cost-of-living crisis or is it trying bankrupt the public? As far as I and most people can see, it is the latter. The facts, which have been confirmed to me in reply to a parliamentary question to the Minister for Finance, show that the Government collected a record €3.75 billion in energy taxes last year. Meanwhile, during that same period,...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Feb 2023)
Mattie McGrath: I do welcome the new TBESS because the first one was way too restrictive. A person on anything other than town gas could not claim for it. I welcome the VAT rate for hospitality; of course I do. I do not welcome the fact the Government will start taking off the excise exemptions after June and will be charging people extra for fuel. The Government is playing a three card trick here. The...

- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (22 Feb 2023)
Mattie McGrath: I missed the Business Committee meeting last Thursday but the account I heard was that the matter would be discussed at this week's meeting, with the hope of getting unanimous agreement on it.

- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (22 Feb 2023)
Mattie McGrath: In fairness to the secretariat of the Business Committee, they ring us all the time, but they obviously did not have time today. Why was it not put on to the Order of Business? We got numerous calls from the secretariat with regard to the Order of Business yesterday. There were at least three changes. This is a sleight of hand by the Government. Our group will certainly not support this...

Mattie McGrath: The Taoiseach has visited Clonmel Garda station in the past. It is a Dickensian station.

Planning permission has been granted and the plans have been approved. For some strange reason, and...

- Anniversary of Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Motion (22 Feb 2023)
Mattie McGrath: I am glad to contribute to the debate, while I am disappointed at the way it has transpired. I will certainly support the amendment moved by an Teachta Pringle. We have welcomed approximately 70,000 to 75,000 Ukrainian refugees and daoine ar fud na tíre have opened their arms, houses and communities, in the sense of a meitheal, to support our colleagues from Ukraine who are fleeing a...
