- Leaders' Questions (31 Jan 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I want to raise with the Taoiseach this afternoon the approach of the Government to the provision of home care packages. In particular, why are the two lowest levels of provision registered in community health care organisation, CHO, areas 3 and 5, which encompass north Tipperary and south Tipperary, respectively? All the other seven CHOs have a significantly higher number of persons in...
- Leaders' Questions (31 Jan 2018)
Mattie McGrath: The Taoiseach very much agrees with me, but agreeing with me and doing something about the matter are altogether different. The Taoiseach is aware that the entire system of care in the community is very closely linked to the issue of bed capacity. He said that himself. Another important strand concerns the carers. Statistics provided by the Central Statistics Office, CSO, for Tipperary...

- Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I too want to compliment Sinn Féin on putting down this motion. We can have motions and potions and everything else but we cannot build houses. I wish the Minister of State well. He is a saner and more approachable type of representative for Kilkenny than a previous Minister, Big Phil the enforcer.
- Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2018)
Mattie McGrath: Tá sé imithe. He has gone to greener pastures now on a big pension and wage. He destroyed the local authorities and many other things. He forced Irish Water on us. Building houses is not rocket science. We could build them in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1980s, noughties and then everything crashed. I have to ask why that happened. Deputy Ó Broin works very hard on the...
- Order of Business (30 Jan 2018)
Mattie McGrath: Too slow.
- Order of Business (30 Jan 2018)
Mattie McGrath: The programme for Government is strong in its commitment to protect citizens in their homes. Electronic tagging should be a condition of bail for repeat offenders. In 2016, 13% of offenders were repeat offenders who were out on bail, an increase of 2% on the year before. Horrific attacks have been perpetrated on my constituents and in Offaly and all over the country. I am told the...

- Report of the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Statements (Resumed) (25 Jan 2018)
Mattie McGrath: I have no problem. Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick left here this evening. It is surprising coming from Deputy Smith because at every Business Committee meeting and in most Orders of Business here they are demanding more time, yet they tried to confine this to ten minutes. The Acting Chairman said 70 speakers spoke but there are 158 Members. A number who wanted to speak have gone home. We were...

Mattie McGrath: Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle. I was only acting on the request of one of the members of my Rural Independent Group who wanted to speak. He had to go to a funeral this evening in County Meath and said he would come back. I am happy to speak on this most important topic. We have certainly seen some interesting developments in the past week, particularly with reference to the leader of...
