Scoping Inquiry into the Cervical Check Screening Programme: Statements (19 Sep 2018)

Mattie McGrath: I am happy to make a few remarks on this very important issue this afternoon.

BusConnects: Motion [Private Members] (19 Sep 2018)

Mattie McGrath: I note that the motion condemns those involved for the unnecessary anxiety and anger experienced by the public in the past eight weeks since the BusConnects, or bus disconnects, as it has been appropriately described, consultation process commenced.

BusConnects: Motion [Private Members] (19 Sep 2018)

Mattie McGrath: The cross-city service could not get across O'Connell Bridge. It blocked the traffic because it was too long. These fellows designed it and, I suppose, they never measured the bridge. They did not care. Giving this amount money to consultants, against which the Minister railed for decades, is anathema to ordinary taxpayers. It is outrageous. The Minister's Department paid AECOM...
