- Progressing Special Education Provision: Statements (9 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: Déanfaidh mé mo dhícheall mo chuid ama a úsáid. I wish the Minister of State well in her post and look forward to engaging with her. The whole situation is very sad. There is nothing more frustrating than young children and adult children waiting for services who cannot get them. Money is being pumped into the system. There is not doubt about that, but there...
- Ceisteanna Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: On Saturday, 600 people marched in Clonmel begging for improved services for people with disabilities. We heard testimonies of patients whose children have no school places for September and almost have to travel to Mayo from Tipperary to get a psychological appointment. We heard stories of efforts to recruit staff to the children's disability network teams, CDNTs, which have been...

- Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: I, too, will speak on this motion which proposes delivering homes at prices that are within the reach of working class people. The proposals suggest that new homes could be sold to eligible buyers for less than €300,000, with the exact price varying based on the size and location of the home. However, the motion does not elaborate on how Sinn Féin plans to deliver a fully...
- Europe Day: Statements (8 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: I appreciate the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach's forbearance. I was trying to watch the clock and I missed it. On 9 May, the EU celebrates Europe Day. It is the anniversary of the historic Schuman declaration in 1950. This day is a testament to the EU's remarkable achievements in fostering unity and maintaining long-term peace. As we approach the European elections on 6 to 9 June 2024,...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: Last September the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, and the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, following only limited consultations, decided to remove four species of duck from the open seasons order, effectively banning their being hunted. This development has led to serious questions about how decisions on issues relating to wildlife and hunting are made and how rural interests, including...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: It is amazing how the tide changes in here when a local or European election comes along. We would not be allowed to mention the word "migrant" in debates here over the past eight or ten months. Our motion opposing the migration pact was voted down last week. The Minister for Justice told Senator Keogan today and me last week that the Government would not publish the Attorney General's...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: Disability services in south Tipperary are falling apart at the seams. I have raised the issue of the catastrophic vacancies in the CDNT teams. There is a large number of vacancies and children are suffering. They are waiting years for the most vital basic disability services. This is the case for all services for children. Scoil Aonghusa, Cashel, is full to the brim. Two mothers in...

- Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (1 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: I am glad I was here for the Minister of State's freagra earlier. I do not think he has any answers really. He is telling us that it came from the justice committee, and it did. God help the migration pact that is before the justice committee. Is the Minister of State telling me the justice committee unanimously came up with this without opposition or with no discussion? It is a very...
