Mattie McGrath: I am delighted to sign my name to this motion and I compliment Deputy Ross on tabling it and on his contribution. I am delighted the Minister, Deputy Howlin, is in the Chamber to listen. The Government has tabled a feeble amendment to the motion. As I told the Minister's leader a few weeks ago, even Ministers' body language tells the tale that they have thrown in the towel and are not...
- National Lottery Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I am pleased to speak to this Bill, which has a number of worrying aspects. To pick up on the contributions of previous speakers, why fix something that is not broken? I hope the Government will not use the old flogging horse of the children's hospital. Goodness knows, that project has been delayed for far too long and far too much money has been wasted on consultants and planners. As the...

- Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (31 Jan 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I stated last night that the Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly, had made his own bed, and it is not a bed of roses in the Health Service Executive, HSE.

We know the way the governance in the HSE was set up. There are nothing but...

Neighbours of...
