Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-17
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

There are certain things that we cannot discuss in this Chamber anymore because one is shouted down. As I said, we have several books from Mr. Schwab of the WEF and I will quote again from him. In 2016, he said:
What we are very proud of now is that the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau and the president of Argentina and so on, is that we penetrated the cabinets. Yesterday, I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I would know that half of his cabinet or even more than half of his cabinet are actually young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
This brings me to the nub of the question for the Taoiseach-elect.
