- Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Sep 2017)
Mattie McGrath: I appreciate that. I would like to ask about the Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2016.

Mattie McGrath: I will. It is you who is delaying me, not myself. The question of referendums is under decision this week in the Cabinet and also the eighth amendment committee, which the Taoiseach mentioned.

- UK Withdrawal from the EU: Statements (26 Sep 2017)
Mattie McGrath: I put the question to him and asked about the attitude of senior Commission people when the UK decided to have its vote which was very hostile, derogatory, threatening and intimidating. We went on to say last week that we had gotten a few little wallops, as the former Taoiseach said one time. I said it was more like a kick he got. He sustained that wallop. Tá sé imithe anois....
