- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Nov 2020)
Mattie McGrath: On a point of order, on behalf of the Rural Independent Group, I welcome that. I ask the Ceann Comhairle to stop the clock and allow the other Deputies who want to speak to do so. We have spent ten or 12 minutes on this issue which has taken up all the time. That is not fair to all the Deputies from all parties. We should add more time because this has gone way over time.

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Nov 2020)
Mattie McGrath: The people of Ireland have suffered greatly with Covid-19. They have been magnificent. Self-employed and ordinary people need guidance. The Taoiseach promised the leaders two and a half weeks ago at a meeting that he would have a further meeting with us to give notice to people of how they could recommence their business. The people will, in the spirit of Charles J. Kickham, the people of...

- Greyhound Industry: Motion [Private Members] (25 Nov 2020)
Mattie McGrath: This motion is kind of cynical. It is a serious time, with Covid-19 and people on their knees all over the country with the way the economy is. I would love to see a motion being brought forward to support an industry. This industry and its spin-offs are vital to rural and urban Ireland and to many families. There are 40,000 jobs in the horse racing and greyhound racing sectors. It is...
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Impact of Covid-19 on Irish Dance Sector: Discussion (25 Nov 2020)
Mattie McGrath: I thank the Chair and the committee for allowing our guests to come today. Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. I thank them for the letters. Not only are they nimble-footed on the dance floor, but they are also good with the letters. They were heart-wrenching. I read one from a six-year-old on the floor of the Dáil, who said she loves to dance, wants to dance and is happy...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)
Mattie McGrath: This is very sad. Cúpla bliain ó shin, in 2017, the Taoiseach was on the Opposition side remonstrating about the appointment of an excellent Attorney General, Máire Whelan. He was not very kind in the words he said or the comparisons he made. The real problem here is not, as I have said, anything to do with impeachment, it is the appointment process. The former Minister for...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)
Mattie McGrath: As Deputy Michael Healy-Rae said last week on behalf of the Rural Independent Group, we are not in favour of this. We have no interest in an impeachment process and we made that quite clear. There are no grounds for impeachment. However, we want the Minister for Justice to come to the House. Her predecessor should also come before the House because he slipped her the note. This is horse...
- Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Wildlife Control (24 Nov 2020)
Mattie McGrath: 350. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the grounds upon which he ordered the release of hares, which had been legally caught under the 2020-21 hare netting licence as granted under the Wildlife Act 1976, when there is no precedent for the limit of time in which a hare can be held under said licence as long as it is within the period of validity of the licence....
