- Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (6 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak on this important issue. In the context of what previous speakers have said, I have some advice for the Tánaiste, for what it is worth. The Tánaiste went Chile to utter his chilling words about what might happen at home. We heard lots of chilling words from him when he was in Opposition. Indeed, they were very chilling, some of...
- Order of Business (6 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I wish to ask the Taoiseach about the status of the Central Bank (consolidation) Bill because there is considerable uncertainty about what is happening within the Central Bank. I had a meeting with senior Central Bank officials last week and am very worried, to say the least, as to what views and developments are percolating down from there to the lending banks, particularly regarding the...

- Leaders' Questions (6 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I listened to the Taoiseach yesterday and again this morning. It saddens me that he cannot find it in himself to give a decent apology.

Senior officials of the Taoiseach's and the Minister's Departments were involved in the preparation of the report at all times. They expected it and were aware of its contents. They knew what was coming. Instead of having their spin doctors teach him what to say, he could have played a tape...

- Leaders' Questions (6 Feb 2013)
Mattie McGrath: I welcome the Taoiseach's acceptance of my right to make whatever statements I feel entitled to make in this House. I accept that. The victims of the laundries and their families, however, are looking aghast at the Taoiseach's mealy-mouthed regret and his saying "sorry", no matter how many times he repeats it. Why can he not, as Head of Government, make a full, honest and heartfelt...
