Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (24 Apr 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I too will support the amendment. The Minister of State will be killing small clubs. Small clubs are the backbone of the community, whether they be GAA clubs, as they mainly are down the country, soccer clubs or any other type of club, organisation or community group. The lottery is a big thing, with a split-the-bucket or whatever. They are in every parish and they are very well...

There is something very rotten in Montrose. I have been quite straightforward...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Mattie McGrath: The number of 297 is astounding. They were treated appallingly. They were literally dismissed. RTÉ reclassified employees and forced them into yellow pack contracts where terms and conditions were far less than if they had been legally classified as employees in the first instance. How can the TUG stand over such contracts?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Mattie McGrath: What percentage of the 297 does Mr. Dooley think might have decided themselves that they did not want to stay?

Mattie McGrath: Yes.
