- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2020 (16 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: As no other Deputies are indicating, I wish to make some comments. Deputy Verona Murphy indicated that huge lessons will be learned. No lessons are being learned whatsoever. The attitude and approach by everybody who is involved to this committee and in turn to Irish taxpayers is nothing short of scandalous. I say that with a heavy heart. The Department of Health, the HSE and hospital...

I thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff for attending and assisting the committee today. Is it agreed that the clerk to the...

- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)

- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: The Minister of State is here to represent the Government. Several questions were put and the Minister of State will not answer them.
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: It has been established that the Minister of State is here as the representative of the Government this evening, because he has not disputed it. The charge was put that this amendment was being brought forward in order to facilitate Fianna Fáil to hold a draw which the party could not do in the autumn of last year. He did not dispute that and did not suggest there was another reason...
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: I am not talking to Deputy McAuliffe at all. I am raising very serious questions whereby if they were related to other parties, including my own, we would have a chorus of people putting those questions to us, and quite rightly. The questions have been put to the Minister of State. I sincerely hope he is willing to provide answers or that he has the decency, political courage and cop-on to...
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: If I welcome anything from Deputy McAuliffe, it is his acknowledgement that everything Sinn Féin does related to fundraising is within the law and is done legally.
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: We do it because it is legal. That is what Deputy McAuliffe is so antagonised about. Fianna Fáil was exposed as breaking the law in the fundraising activities it engaged in last year. Of course it is legitimate for political parties to raise money through legal means and of course it is legitimate for people to support a political party they share the views and beliefs of. All of...
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: I hope the Minister of State will prove that my view of him is wrong. I have no doubt, on a personal level, that he is a lovely man but lately he has been used time and time again to read prepared statements on behalf of others. This is a serious issue. The Minister of State has been asked, instructed or whatever by the Minister to come to this House and move an amendment with no purpose...
- Annual Transition Statement: Statements (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: It is no surprise that the publication of the annual transition report comes 18 months after the statutory deadline before which the Minister, Deputy Ryan, was due to deliver it. It is no surprise because the three Government parties, Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party, have met none of the climate targets they set. Unfortunately, the Government is following a familiar...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Matt Carthy: If I stick to time, I ask that our answers also be succinct. I congratulate Ms Eade on her appointment and wish her well in her new role. In order not to have to continue to repeat it, this committee recognises the valuable contribution that horse racing in Ireland makes to rural economies, the wider domestic economy and local communities. We will take that as a given. The sector receives...
