Mattie McGrath: We are just under two weeks away from the budget and we are in the middle of the worst environment of spiralling inflation and interest rates, which is piling huge, savage pressures on every man, woman and child in this country and every business sector also. Despite these challenges, we have a Government that is on the ropes and completely out of ideas. It is now clear that the Government...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (15 Sep 2022)
Mattie McGrath: I wish to inquire about rural regeneration and development funding for towns in Tipperary, namely, Carrick-on-Suir, Cathair Dúin Iascaigh - Cahir - and Roscrea. We have had funding from the urban regeneration and development fund for many of our towns but these are rural towns. Since they lost many services they need this funding from the regeneration schemes and I want an update on...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (15 Sep 2022)
Mattie McGrath: I thank the Minister for her reply. I thank her also for visiting Tipperary. She visited Carrick-on-Suir, Clonmel, Tipperary town and went on to some towns in the north of the county. Towns like Nenagh have got major funding and we do not begrudge them that but Carrick-on-Suir has been devastated by lack of industry for decades. Cahir has good employment. It is a beautiful town and...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Schemes (15 Sep 2022)
Mattie McGrath: I thank the Minister. She is welcome any time in Tiobraid Árann. I acknowledge we have been successful in funding in the major urban centres of Nenagh and Clonmel but this scheme is tailor-made to try to bring vitality back to rural towns. The Minister will not be disparaging the fact we got the fourth-highest funding allocation in the country. As she knows, "Where Tipperary leads,...
- Measures to Assist with Household Bills: Motion [Private Members] (14 Sep 2022)
Mattie McGrath: There is no power to run it.
- Measures to Assist with Household Bills: Motion [Private Members] (14 Sep 2022)
Mattie McGrath: Cad a dhéanfaimid feasta gan adhmad? Cad a dhéanfaimid feasta gan an páirtí Glas? This is unbelievable and bizarre. The Government is literally trying to starve and perish the people with its policies. I actually believe that now. Kindergarten children would not do what the Government has done. It shut down the plants and power supplies and then tried to say we have...
- Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Commission of Investigation Report: Statements (14 Sep 2022)
Mattie McGrath: I am delighted to be able to speak on this matter, as one who was here on the night we voted for the bank bailout. It is the worst political decision I have ever made in my life. I have said that countless times. I suppose I will not be forgiven by people. I will not forgive myself, because it was a con job. Reckless behaviour went on, and unfortunately, it is still going on. On the...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (14 Sep 2022)
Mattie McGrath: Earlier this year the Government announced, to another fanfare, that it would give free school transport to everyone. That has caused untold trouble, unease and anguish for everybody. The Government must have known that the system was not fit for purpose in any case and has not been for a long number of years and now it is chaos. The fact is 15,000 children are now being shut out...
