- Promissory Notes: Statements (7 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: Thank you, Minister. It is all great craic. The Minister is the crack in the Labour Party. He is the man who said we make promises in the elections and the people will not mind but they are waiting for you.
- Promissory Notes: Statements (7 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: They are waiting for you in the long grass. The Deputy might be gone out on pension but the lads will not be out on pension. They know where they will be - facing the music. On a serious note-----
- Promissory Notes: Statements (7 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: It is so sad that this Government got one of the finest mandates any Government ever got and it reneged totally on it. It has been an utter failure in terms of the people who elected it. That is a sad legacy to leave behind. I accept it inherited a great deal of trouble - it talks about that every day in the House - but it is time to move on. Its members are in charge now. The Minister,...
- Promissory Notes: Statements (7 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: It is unbelievable. It is time to move on. We are a proud people. We want to pay our way, and we want to pay the debt we owe, but not the massive billions in debt that accrued from money that was borrowed and lent here by rogue bankers, speculators and unsecured bondholders that the Tánaiste said the Government would burn. Where are they now? They are warming their backsides at the...

- Promissory Notes: Statements (7 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: It is a sad day for Ireland because we have again burdened our people, and future generations, for God knows how long, with a debt they, their parents or grandparents did not incur. The fat cats, and the regulators both in the EU and here, allowed it to happen - they allowed the money to be shovelled in here when they knew the economy was overheating. They have walked away, scot free, in...

- Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Second Stage (6 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I feel a sense of déjà vu here. I certainly voted for the bank guarantee and I regret it ever since but unlike tonight the bank guarantee was debated in this House over two or three days following the night it was announced in the Chamber. I want to look the Taoiseach in the eye. This morning he refused to apologise to the unfortunate victims of the Magdalen laundries and he is...
- Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Second Stage (6 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: The Tánaiste did not vote for it and that is fine. He said it gave away too much power and that is the reason he did not vote for it, yet he has turned around now and told us all that we must vote for this. This Bill was not drawn up today or yesterday, it was probably drawn up a month ago, but it gives far too much power to people who are unelected. It gives them immense power. God...
