- Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (2 May 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I note section 2 says it relates to members of a local authority. Irish public bodies, as we know, is an umbrella movement loosely representing all local authorities and operations of local government. It took some time for the Minister to accede to the request to have a separate mention for local authority members. It rings hollow because local authority members and local government have...

Mattie McGrath: I am sharing with Deputies Michael Collins and Danny Healy-Rae. I am happy to make some brief comments on this Bill. Allow me, ar an chéad dul síos, to salute Deputy Browne for his commitment to the issue of mental health and the time and effort he and his staff have put into drafting this Bill. There is absolutely no parity between how physical and mental health are treated in...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (2 May 2018)
Mattie McGrath: On the programme for Government and the commitment towards mental health community teams, the health committee was told recently that only 60% of the 114 mental health teams have a seven day service. This is where I have an issue with the Minister, Deputy Harris, and Mr. Tony O'Brien. That is only one of the terrible things going on with the HSE. A 14 year old girl has been languishing for...

- National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I salute the extraordinary courage of Vicky Phelan and all the women and families who have been dragged unwillingly into a scandal of enormous dimensions.

In five days' time, the Minister will be two...
- National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I reject that. Is the Minister going to wait until there are another 17 dead? Is he going to wait on the people dying on trolleys? It is not an answer; it is a cop-out. Deputy Harris is the Minister. The Government has collective responsibility under the seal of office handed to it by the President. The Government has to take some kind of action and not just give pipsqueak answers like...

The Minister wants to go out and canvass with Mr. Colm...
