Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Níl Gaeilge fhlúirseach agam ach déanaim mo dhícheall í a úsáid i gcónaí. Gabhaim buíochas freisin leis na múinteoirí agus na boird bhainistíochta sna naíonraí, sna Gaelcholáistí agus sna Gaelscoileanna. Bhí mé i gCarraig na Siúire Déardaoin seo caite agus tháinig an tAire...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (6 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Agricultural contractors are very concerned this week about changes to the category W driving licence that have been published on the NDLS website, which will have a significant impact on many agricultural contractors who do some non-agricultural works as part of their services, for instance, construction.

Housing Targets and Regulations: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I compliment the Labour Party on this motion but I would like it to do what Brendan Howlin did when he apologised profoundly for the disastrous abolition of borough councils, etc., under Better Local Government. Labour was in government from 2011 to 2014 and decimated housing construction. Its new leader says it will build 1 million houses. This is the problem. We have people who magic up...

International Women's Day: Statements (5 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I concur with every word that an Teachta Nolan has said. It is rather ironic we are having this debate when we are having a vote this coming Friday to erase the words "mother" and "woman" out of the Constitution, and to diminish them in many ways. I take great faith and solace from my late mother, Mary, who was a woman of faith who worked so hard, and the late Breda Laffey, a great woman of...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I again raise the issue of Seán Meehan, a 65-year-old Tipperary man who built his own log cabin to house himself following a marriage breakdown. Tipperary County Council has refused planning permission and retention permission. Mr. Meehan is facing jail if he does not have the structure removed by 4 April. How come hundreds of modular units can be placed by the State on land without...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: On behalf of the Rural Independent Group, I raise serious questions and I ask for a debate on the role of the Electoral Commission in these referendums and the might of what the Government has done in light of the landmark McKenna judgment. Last week we saw Ms Orla O'Connor being appointed by the commission in the middle of a referendum campaign to its research advisory group. The Minister,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2024)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2024)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: -----but the people know what is going on and the Government will get a fine kick in the you-know-where next week on Friday or Saturday and the smirk will be on the other side of his face. It is downright blatant abuse of a system. The Electoral Commission is not to be trusted now.
