- Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (30 Jun 2021)
Mattie McGrath: That is fine. I do not mean that literally but the Minister knows well what I am trying to say. It has been extraordinary. I said today when I left the Cabinet room - Deputy Howlin or Deputy Kelly may have been there - that at the first meeting we were called into when this happened, I staggered out of the room in fear because of the predictions from NPHET. Thank God and thanks to our HSE...

Mattie McGrath: What about the passports?
- Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (30 Jun 2021)
Mattie McGrath: The Minister of State mentioned that vaccines are discussed at all European Council meetings, including this one. Were vaccine passports discussed at that meeting?

Some other countries received twice or three times as much as we did. I do not begrudge any of them aon phingin...
- Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (30 Jun 2021)
Mattie McGrath: Be it in regard to fishing or the Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, we are the laggards in Europe and are being treated like little schoolboys in the bold boys' corner who are told to luigh síos anseo agus bí ciúin and we obey them. Yesterday, we had the patent nonsense whereby apartheid is going to be introduced in this country to justify the approach taken by the Taoiseach to...

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (30 Jun 2021)
Mattie McGrath: Has the Taoiseach any bit of shame or self-respect at all? He told us many times he would not have green passports. The illogical, alarming, Dickensian and apartheid decision to have vaccinated people go one place and others left outside is shocking. He is operating to an agenda that is clear for everyone to see. It is not an agenda for the Irish people, but for somebody else. If NPHET...
