- Private Members' Business. Regulation of Debt Management Advisors Bill 2011: Second Stage (15 May 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I am delighted to be able to speak to the Bill brought forward by my namesake, Deputy Michael McGrath. I commend him, as I commend anyone who makes a reasonable effort to lessen the savage impact bank lending and lending of all forms have had on the nation, the people and families. This lending is continuing unabated. The Bill is an effort to regulate those who have set up as money...

- Comptroller and Auditor General (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (11 May 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I am pleased to speak in support of this Bill. I compliment Deputy McGuinness for his research which he carried out himself as, like any of us, he has no support. As other Deputies have observed it is regrettable that the Government has rejected this Bill outright instead of allowing it be discussed and amended on Committee Stage. The promise of reform rings hollow. Four or five Private...
- Comptroller and Auditor General (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (11 May 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I am talking about when we started this morning. There were only four Members on the opposite side. There were between 15 and 18 Members present on this side. Having these Friday sittings is merely paying lip-service to reform because they are not meaningful. There is no Order of Business, we cannot vote on this legislation and any vote that is called on it will have to be deferred until...
