- Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Bill 2019: Report and Final Stages (3 Dec 2019)
Mattie McGrath: I respect that, but there is only so much that volunteers can take and they have had it up to here. They are brilliant people. In the case of my local AHB, the board comprises voluntary lay people and not one professional. The AHB has delivered 17 houses, which is a large number. If every small voluntary group did likewise, many houses would be built. Nevertheless, many challenges have...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Dec 2019)

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Dec 2019)
Mattie McGrath: The Taoiseach cannot have his cake and eat it. He is taking the praise for the reports he is getting. Many of these reports are being issued by people who are getting contracts without any tender process. I get a real sense that the scandal of having 348 Government contracts awarded outside of competitive guidelines has not been acknowledged or accepted. The Taoiseach does not accept it....

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Nov 2019)
Mattie McGrath: The entire country is delighted that 200 new Garda recruits will leave Templemore tomorrow but those of us in Tipperary are in shock.
