Mattie McGrath: I suppose it was not really all that crazy and it developed into a Ponzi scheme for certain individuals. These deals were done in this city, in a hotel not far from this House. I know what happened but I have not confirmed the details. Those details will come out very soon.

- Water Services Bill 2014: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Dec 2014)
Mattie McGrath: -----the Deputy from Louth, whom I believe has enough information now. I have stated privately that he has the grenade in his hand. I had a water meter with me in the Dáil one evening during the debate. It was about the same size as a hand grenade, if a bit larger and more technical.

Mattie McGrath: I would like to return to the substantive issue of section 3 of the Bill. I suppose it is the nuts and bolts of this legislation. We are trying to cobble a system together to cover up a totally mismanaged and ill thought-out strategy. As someone asked here one day, where was Irish Water conceived? Where was the baby delivered? What kind of an infant was it? What kind of beast has it...

Mattie McGrath: In view of the recent scandal, the Pro Life Campaign has today commented on Mr. Tony O'Brien's remarks about the value of undercover investigators, yet when the Pro Life Campaign learned what the Family Planning Association was doing undercover Mr. O'Brien rubbished it.
