- Third Interim Report of the Disclosures Tribunal: Statements (17 Oct 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I am delighted to be able to say a few words this evening. I thank Mr. Justice Charleton for his arduous and diligent work on behalf of all of us in the State. The findings of the report issued by Mr. Justice Charleton last week truly bring us back to GUBU territory. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle might remember that. He was around this House and I was an active member of Fianna Fáil...

- Road Traffic (Quads and Scramblers) (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 Oct 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I too am pleased to speak on this Bill brought forward by Sinn Féin regarding quads and scramblers. It is a very delicate issue. I note the Minister fled when I got to my feet. I must have him terrified. It is a practice he has. When I have a question or when I am in any debate, he just ups and runs. By God, we used to be the best of friends. There is the old saying: when friends...
- Road Traffic (Quads and Scramblers) (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 Oct 2018)
Mattie McGrath: We will have to get a scrambler for him so he can scramble up the stairs. I believe the Bill is a serious and honest statement by Sinn Féin to deal with this issue. It can be horrendous, given the interference, the dangers and the damage that is done to wildlife, mountainsides and flora and fauna on the tracks. While I do not want to be seen as a killjoy, I have to declare I used...

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Oct 2018)
Mattie McGrath: The programme for Government commits to support An Garda Síochána. I know Deputy Michael Healy-Rae raised it. In Tipperary there is a huge division. I wish the new Commissioner well, but I want the Minister to clarify comments he made on overtime. With the evenings now drawing in, people are frightened in their homes. We have got very few of the new recruits to have come out of...

Mattie McGrath: I am happy to speak briefly on this Bill and salute Deputy O'Callaghan and his office for highlighting this matter. Deputy O’Callaghan informs us that the purpose of this legislation is to give greater support and protection to victims of sexual violence, gender-based violence or violence in a close relationship in circumstances where they make a complaint to An Garda...
- Nomination of Member of the Government: Motion (16 Oct 2018)
Mattie McGrath: He is very quiet. We do not see him anymore. When he was on this side, he made a lot of noise and had a lot to say. It is the height of political brass neck for the Taoiseach to come into this House and talk about bringing stability to the Government so that it can move forward with the national broadband plan. The Taoiseach knows nothing about the plan. He intends to make it a personal...
