Air Transport Preclearance Agreement: Motion (16 Apr 2019)

Mattie McGrath: I am happy to speak on this motion, which seeks to amend the Ireland-United States preclearance agreement. I agree with much of what has been said by Deputy Clare Daly. We should not carry on with an attitude of "I'm all right, Jack". We need to scrutinise. We need to be ever more scrutinising of what is happening with our so-called international partners in the area of preclearance....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Network (16 Apr 2019)

Mattie McGrath: I concur with what has been said. The Minister of State has used many terms such as "flagship", "customer service" and "customer focused", but the Government does not give a hoot about the customers. It is trading recklessly, as I have stated on several occasions. We in the Rural Independent Group tabled a motion, which was passed comfortably, that supported introducing community banking...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Network (16 Apr 2019)

Mattie McGrath: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this important matter. Along with my colleagues, I am disappointed that the Minister, Deputy Bruton, is not present. He is in hiding. The Minister of State is newly reappointed. I mean nothing personal, but sending him in here with a script is a disgrace. The Minister is hiding behind the board of An Post. This is a reckless decision. The...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2019)

Mattie McGrath: The issue of the fair deal scheme was raised by Deputy Micheál Martin. I wish to raise the issue of the shocking situation at South Tipperary General Hospital where 44 patients are on trolleys and the general manager - who I salute - and her full-time staff have asked people to stay away unless it is an emergency. In the hospital which provides services for the other half of County...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2019)

Mattie McGrath: No, it is not me. We were all in agreement. Everybody objected.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2019)

Mattie McGrath: I am in agreement with Deputy Clare Daly. There was considerable opposition last week, and rightly so. As Deputy Clare Daly said, the Government was assuming that there would be only a few amendments. The deadline had not been arrived at. We do not know how long it is going to take so it is a guessing game. I do not know whether the tail is wagging the dog here again regarding this...
