- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral and Referendum Reform: Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government (23 Jan 2019)
Mattie McGrath: I thank the witnesses for their presentation and their work. During the talks for the programme for Government, we in the Rural Independent Group lobbied for this and we are glad that there is movement. The present situation is archaic. I know of old people who have voted in every election, and who value their vote, being knocked off the register and not realising it until they arrive at...

Mattie McGrath: I did not address the Deputy and I am not interested in listening to him either. I addressed the Chair and put questions to our guests. If he wants his Trotskyite spiel, he can have it, but I am not going to listen to his diatribe.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral and Referendum Reform: Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government (23 Jan 2019)
Mattie McGrath: I am not aware of any issues in my constituency but there are obviously concerns in others.

Mattie McGrath: I compliment the Ceann Comhairle, the Clerk of the Dáil, Peter Finnegan, and all who were involved with the wonderful occasion, ocáid speisialta a bhí ann, for the celebration of 100 years of Dáil Éireann. It saddens me tonight to stand here to say that we have no broadband in rural areas, and no sign of it due to the Minister's ineptitude and inexperience and the...

We listened to Connolly for Kids, Dr. Finn Breathnach, Jonathan Irwin of the Jack and Jill Foundation, and Dr....
