- Carbon Tax: Motion [Private Members] (22 Feb 2022)
Matt Carthy: Workers and families are facing a cost-of-living crisis. As people in this State face what are among the highest rents, mortgage interest rates, insurance costs and childcare costs in Europe, they are also burdened with ever-increasing electricity, heating and fuel costs. Rather than supporting families to meet these burdens, the Government has responded by increasing them further through...

Matt Carthy: I thank the Chairman. I believe the Comptroller and Auditor General’s approach is the correct one. It is in the public interest and is a matter of public concern that warrants a hearing of this committee with both the HSE and the Department of Health officials in place. There have been long-standing concerns with regard to the effectiveness of health spending and whether it delivers...

Matt Carthy: I support Deputy Catherine Murphy on that final point. On point No. 6, we asked who had decided not to provide us with the most up-to-date national children's hospital report indicating the status of that particular project. The response is essentially that no single organisation chose not to furnish it to us. It was a collective decision of the board and the Department. This is...

Matt Carthy: -----number 984 and are valued at €542 million. The last estimate in terms of the value of claims that I saw was in November and they were valued at €514 million at that point. There is an increase already of €30 million in the value of the claims that have been submitted by the contractor. It would be useful for us to get clarification as to whether those claims are...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022) Matt Carthy: I will return to some of my earlier points that I did not get to conclude. Mr. Doyle mentioned an estimated 10,000 additional people on HAP by the end of the year. As the budgets for other schemes are not projected to fall, I assume that figure relates to new entrants. Is it fair to say that these are people who are not in receipt of any subsidised support?
