- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: One Day More (Resumed) (22 Nov 2017)
Mattie McGrath: Again, I thank Ms McDermott for coming in today. We were complaining earlier about people not coming in. That is their right but Ms McDermott has certainly brought the other side to the committee today and I am delighted to learn things about Hugh's House and A Perfect Gift. I was not aware of those organisations and supports. Some people say it is cruel to ask a woman to go through with...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: One Day More (Resumed) (22 Nov 2017)
Mattie McGrath: I did not use the word "force". I said "ask". Perhaps Ms McDermott can speak a bit about the harm that occurs when we continue to describe very sick unborn babies as having fatal foetal or life-limiting conditions or conditions incompatible with life. She knows that after a group travelled to Geneva and lobbied, and I introduced a Private Members' Bill, the HSE changed the language it used...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: One Day More (Resumed) (22 Nov 2017)
Mattie McGrath: No, it is another question. We were told by an expert here some weeks ago that she felt the eighth amendment was damaging the mental health of every person in this State - man, woman and child. How is Ms McDermott's son doing now? Is he in secondary school? Ms McDermott might be allowed to read a poem if that is possible. I would like to hear it - later or any at stage.

- Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Nov 2017)
Mattie McGrath: A statutory instrument signed into law by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, about a month ago affects tractors which can do 40 km/h or more. The Minister has since announced that he is withdrawing it but I understand that a statutory procedure has to come before the House for the House to decide to undo or remove the statutory instrument. There is only 30 days for...

- Rural Crime: Motion (21 Nov 2017)
Mattie McGrath: I compliment Deputy O'Callaghan and his Fianna Fáil colleagues for putting down the motion on this issue. It is a huge issue and we are playing catch-up all the time after all the cuts over the recent years. Morale in An Garda Síochána - I am speaking for Tipperary - is on the floor because it does not have the necessary resources. It is the same for every officer who...
