Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...Féin plans to deliver a fully constructed home for under €300,000. It is a fantasy.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Apr 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...has been none. It has refused to meet and we have been told nothing. Any information I have is from FOI requests. A case has been taken against Sean Meehan for building a modular home on his own land. He is before the courts facing jail. Why are we are continuing to erect these modular homes and other buildings under emergency powers if there is net outflow of Ukrainian people? It is...

Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Apr 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...the past ten years, and there is opt-in and opt-out. I am afraid of this big sweeping brush the Minister has brought down from the, well, I cannot say the hills of County Cavan, but perhaps the boggy land or the turf areas of the county. One broom sweeps all. This is going to have a disproportionate impact on businesses, especially ag an am seo. Businesses are just hanging on by their...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (21 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...a republican family, a good, decent, republican man who fell into difficulties in his marriage. I have permission to mention his name. He had a separation and was legally divorced. He bought a plot of land and put a mobile home on it. He carefully crafted a lovely wood exterior and also insulated it, so it is very warm and comfortable for him, his cat and his dog. Lo and behold, he is...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...them. We have a case in Tipperary concerning Mr. Sean Meehan. He is facing imprisonment for housing himself in a perfectly suitable mobile home, which is very aesthetically placed on his own land. He is facing jail in the early days of April. Hundreds of people marched in Clonmel last Friday and more people are meeting in Caiseal na Mumhan next Saturday. It is shocking that the...

Nature Restoration Law: Statements (7 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: In the heart of Ireland, a storm is brewing. Rural communities, the backbone of this country, feel abandoned and betrayed. The culprit is a green agenda driven by NGOs and the Green Party with the full endorsement of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. This agenda prioritises environmental conservation over the livelihoods of farmers and the viability of rural Ireland. They can work hand in...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...refused planning permission and retention permission. Mr. Meehan is facing jail if he does not have the structure removed by 4 April.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (28 Feb 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...the leap year, there is an extra day tomorrow. As the Minister knows, last summer was the wettest summer on record. From July onwards, hedges were cut in some cases and cannot be removed from land where they are. Land is swimming because of the rain through the autumn, winter and now in the early spring. I appeal to the Minister to extend this date for at least two months to allow...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Feb 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...are devastated this afternoon by the vote that took place in the European Parliament. I salute the two MEPs who are awake to what is going on and voted against it. A total of 20% of our land and seas will be taken out of production by 2030. Then we have the lovely word "ecosystems", which all have to be restored by 2050. Could the Minister tell me what an ecosystem is? Fine Gael,...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (22 Feb 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...time. There has been sheer mismanagement and sheer bad contracting. Former Deputy Wallace understood contracting as he was used to dealing with it as a construction person. It was a dual-model contract. I remember at the time that BAM International expressed fears that BAM Ireland had gone in way too low. BAM Ireland has a habit of doing this. They go in at an all-time low and the...

Mattie McGrath: ...to link up with the new road. This is totally impractical. Clonmel town needs an outer ring road to take the traffic out of the town. It beggars belief that after all the planning, designing, land sterilisation and the planning permission being held up, we are back now looking at using the Clonmel bypass. They cannot widen it because there is nothing to widen. I am talking about from...

Conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (23 Jan 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...slaughter of women, children, whole families and communities has to stop. What I cannot understand at all is the barbaric nature of the movement of people into an area - and it is a tiny bit of land anyway - and the bombardment of it after that. I do not know how you could not call it genocide. We are being inundated with emails. You would think we are all powerful and we can do a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Jan 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...in 20 years. We are now told that the Green Party is insisting that will not happen. While the outdated guidelines for rural planning remain the same, a house will not be built in rural Ireland for a farmer's son or daughter or for anybody else either. That is a shocking scenario that the tail is wagging the dog to that extent. I call on the Minister to publish the new statutory rural...
