Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (7 Dec 2022)

Mattie McGrath: The $60 per barrel price cap on Russian oil is nothing more than virtue signalling by the EU and US.

Teacher Shortages: Motion [Private Members] (7 Dec 2022)

Mattie McGrath: I too compliment the Social Democrats on tabling this motion, which is very timely. I do not agree with Deputy Barry on much, but I agree with everything he said. We can pay the bankers, or any of the senior civil servants in Departments who want to move extra money, but we cannot support our teachers.
