Conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (23 Jan 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I, too, believe that the situation underscores the urgent need for peace, not war. We would much rather see the Irish Government step up its effort to bring about a peaceful ceasefire. The pursuit of peace and justice should always be our guiding principles, regardless of the complexities of international law and optics. I condemn utterly the actions of Hamas on that fateful day in...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Jan 2024)

Mattie McGrath: The N24 upgrade from Cahir, at the Cloghabreedy junction, through County Kilkenny and on to Waterford city is at design stage and now it is at stage 2. Engagement is taking place with householders and farmers along the route. There is a proposal that up to seven houses and family homes may be demolished. The road is very badly needed but there is now confusion and no clarity from the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Jan 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. On behalf of my colleagues in the Rural Independent Group, and Deputy O'Donoghue raised it already, we badly need a debate on the situation facing small businesses, especially food outlets. We had two restaurants on Main Street in Tipperary town, Prime 74 and Flanagan's Lane Restaurant, close in the past week. These were two excellent premises...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Jan 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I know the Minister met a group of businessmen from Clonmel recently, including David Burke, Richard Gleeson and Nuala Hickey, regarding the situation concerning Uisce Éireann in the town. It is just abominable. For three or four days again this week there has been no water in Ballingarrane, Cherrymount and other parts of the town for businesses and houses. No information has come...

Mattie McGrath: I raise with the Minister the issue of planning permission and planning guidelines for log cabins, modular homes and mobile homes. We are all well aware of the housing crisis, which the Minister has been addressing, and we are all talking about it. There is a concerning situation in the case of people who have modular homes or a mobile home. I have previously asked for a ten-year...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Jan 2024)

Mattie McGrath: From Whitelands Cross right up to Glenagat Cross where Dan Breen was married in a cow house, as his wedding took place in troubled times, every resident on the road signed a petition supporting Sean Meehan to be allowed to live in his home and on his site. The Minister is totally wrong there. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil promised at the last election that the rural planning guidelines...

Mattie McGrath: This man has housed himself. I am dealing with 12 more people like him who have housed themselves. They are not looking for anything off the council. They just want to be left alone. The Minister should do his job as part of the Government but he is not doing it.

Investment Funds Trading in the Residential Property Market: Motion [Private Members] (17 Jan 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I, too, am delighted to speak to the motion. The Ceann Comhairle commented on county development plans. He was in a county council and mé féin freisin. We had some hope. Now matters are obviously dictated by management. The planning and development agency and other agencies are overruling the decisions of councils. Power is being taken away from councils. A video was sent...
