Vulnerable Persons Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 Oct 2018)

Mattie McGrath: I am speaking about the subject of an arrogant Government and arrogant Ministers. They do not care about ordinary people. Ní neart go cur le chéile. That is what I support. The Government does not support anything only that it is mightier-----

Mattie McGrath: What?

Vulnerable Persons Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 Oct 2018)

Mattie McGrath: You are the fake news. You are the fake Government, as you will find out very soon. It will be a Rialtas imithe.

Vulnerable Persons Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 Oct 2018)

Mattie McGrath: The Minister of State is the fake news. He left the soldiers, our proud peacekeepers, abandoned in Syria for two weeks after they were supposed to come home. He could not even organise the flights. I do not know if he will find his way home to County Wexford tonight. If it is dry, he probably will, but if there is fog, he will probably get lost and end up in Dungarvan or somewhere else.

Vulnerable Persons Bill 2015: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 Oct 2018)

Mattie McGrath: From what I have heard, the Minister of State's ramble-shaggle-taggle Government is going to be forced to accept it because Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil are supporting it. The heroes and great socialists, who want all legislation, do not care about the elderly. The do not care about the young or the unborn either. Where are they?
