- Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Instruction to Committee (22 May 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I appreciate that. While I may not be in favour of everything the G8 summit stands for, I am delighted it is to be held in this country. I am delighted it is to be held in County Fermanagh. I am delighted with the exposure County Fermanagh is getting. It is a fabulous county and I have travelled every inch of it during the years. Its lake district is beautiful from a tourist's...

Mattie McGrath: When the Water Services (Amendment) Act 2012 was announced, we were promised that there would be local employment and work for businesses. Nobody can seem to get any-----
- Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mattie McGrath: It is part of the Act that local contractors would be employed.
- Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mattie McGrath: They are now setting high thresholds that contractors cannot meet. That is Labour's way. I ask whether the Tánaiste will look after those people because they are unemployed businesspeople.

- Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mattie McGrath: The Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill. I welcome the Ceann Comhairle back. I am glad to have him back. I hope he had a good time overseas with my colleague.
- Order of Business (22 May 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I know he was and I appreciate that. It is taking four months for community groups to get Garda clearance for participants on community employment schemes and any project in the community. Heretofore, it would only be when someone was working with children but now any participant must get clearance so it is taking four months to get Garda clearance. Something is seriously wrong.

- Ireland and the Eurozone: Motion [Private Members] (21 May 2013)
Mattie McGrath: It is a pity the Leas-Cheann Comhairle did not get to call me in the last debate but I will forgive him for tonight.
- Ireland and the Eurozone: Motion [Private Members] (21 May 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I commend Deputy Thomas Pringle on tabling this well-researched and carefully crafted Private Members' motion. Like most Private Members' motions from the Independent group or the Technical Group, there is little interest in it. A recent motion was tabled by Deputy Tom Fleming and during the debate on it, the Minister finished her script seven minutes before the end. She sat down and the...
- Ireland and the Eurozone: Motion [Private Members] (21 May 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I was in one party and now I am an Independent. The Tánaiste can speak for himself. He is in a spin because he does not know where to stop. We are in an unequal union. We are being mistreated and bullied in Europe for the failures of many aspects of our governance and financial issues. As Deputy Pringle pointed out, the Europeans banks and regulators allowed money to be pumped...
