Mattie McGrath: I was just clarifying but people think it is very funny. I am clarifying that he mentioned marriage having a bad effect on mental health. Maybe it has some certainly but not in the vast majority of married couples in this country.

Mattie McGrath: With respect, I asked Dr. McCarthy to clarify whether he was being flippant. He has now said he was. This is not a matter on which to be very flippant.

- Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2017)
Mattie McGrath: Two week ago I raised in this House the matter of the predatory behaviour by our banks with regard to tracker mortgages. As I said at the time, most of the bank robbers are now deep in the boardrooms and not on the streets as used to be the case.
