Our amendments will ensure that the right to freedom of conscience is protected. They will avoid...

Mattie McGrath: What does it matter if people are repetitious? I went through the Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, which I called a quango and I know what that was like but I expected that there would be more decorum here with Deputy Harty in the Chair. I expected more respect and manners but it seems that some people cannot help themselves. I call on the Minister to enter...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (8 Nov 2018)

Mattie McGrath: I offer my sympathies to the family of Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin. He was a proud Clonmel and Tipperary man.
