Mattie McGrath: -----and there has been significant cover-up in the past 30 years. It is cover-up after cover-up. Now, we get here and this is the biggest cover-up of all. I am asking the Minister - I know he will not do it, but I hope someday, someone will - to establish an inquiry that will get answers and honesty and restore the integrity and respect people had for our public services.
- Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)
Mattie McGrath: Excuse me. I am talking through the Chair. I am wondering what is going on. The people are sick and weary of it. This is not the first time. I could speak about the Aughinish Alumina plant and the Geoghegan family in Limerick. They had issues with Dr. Holohan and the now Taoiseach, Deputy Micheál Martin. There was no public inquiry into what happened. What about the cervical smear...
- Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)
Mattie McGrath: I too support amendment No. 1. I again appeal to the Minister, but I know it will fall on deaf ears. Guillotining a Bill of this nature is disgraceful. How can the Minister do that, given his pronouncements while in opposition and at leaders' meetings that Deputies Boyd Barrett and Naughten and others also attended and in light of his questioning of the advice, what was happening and the...

Many people have worked on these matters over the past decade, especially Ms Maura Canning. I cannot say enough of her. She has done Trojan work on behalf of farm families in the Irish...

- Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (14 Jul 2021)
Mattie McGrath: This legislation has had no pre-legislative scrutiny, proper committee debate or anything else. We had two minutes each to speak. Thankfully, we now have four minutes each to discuss such a huge piece of legislation which will have overwhelming effects. It completely tramples on the Constitution. The Minister, Deputy Donnelly, when he was in Opposition railed against guillotines and...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Jul 2021)
Mattie McGrath: The Irish Farmers Association, Farm Contractors Ireland and many farming families are outside protesting today because they are not allowed to cut timber. The price of timber for contractors and people building houses has gone through the roof. Will the Taoiseach please ensure that the Minister of State, Senator Hackett, takes her hands off the steering wheel and allows the farmers who...
