- COP27: Statements (29 Nov 2022)
Mattie McGrath: I will meet Deputy Ó Cathasaigh any day, but not out at a COP. I will meet him out on Moanyarha bog where the turf cutters look after the bogs and the flora and fauna.

- COP27: Statements (29 Nov 2022)
Mattie McGrath: The tongue will be out. The sheer magnitude of the Government delegation to COP 27 damaged the credibility of the case for climate action. The event has really and truly turned into something akin to a jolly boys' outing to Margate. Figures on the number of delegates have been provided to our colleague, Deputy Nolan, by Departments. There were 11 individuals from the Department of the...

Mattie McGrath: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the situation that is going on in East Wall and many other areas in this country with inward immigration.

I am objecting to the Order of Business because I want an urgent debate on this matter in order that we can bring some reality to the situation for people who are struggling so hard to live, get homes, educate their children and everything else.
