John Brady: ...she has to endure day in, day out. Up until 2008, we had an early diagnosis procedure in place whereby a public health nurse went into schools and carried out a very simple check, the Adam's forward bend test. Due to cutbacks or austerity measures, this was abandoned in 2008. Now, early diagnosis is not happening for the likes of my daughter. In some cases, it would obviate the need...

Situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Statements (13 Jul 2023)

John Brady: ..., the Government has opted to kick the Bill down the road for nine months to allow a review of the legislation to take place because it did not view the database as a live document.

John Brady: ...else are simply not given the opportunity to get a premium in the first instance. This legislation follows on from a previous attempt in 2016 by the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, who brought forward more or less identical legislation. It was a problem in 2016. That legislation moved to Second Stage and ultimately went to Committee Stage. All the issues were teased out. Yet now we...

Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2023)

John Brady: The sole motivation of bringing forward this important legislation is the full implementation of international law and holding those who breach international law to account. What I have heard tonight from the Government is a delay and when justice is delayed, justice is denied.

John Brady: .... They are getting €9.89, which is below the minimum wage, but we do not know how many hours they are working because that is not recorded. There is no mechanism to record the number of hours worked. All we can go on is what members of the Defence Forces tell us, and I am certainly not going to second-guess them. One recommendation in the commission's report, which I raised with...

Retained Firefighters: Motion [Private Members] (15 Nov 2022)

John Brady: ...family members came to Dublin today and marched on the Dáil. Some have sat outside for the duration of this debate. They came here out of frustration looking for hope and respect, but all they got from the Government benches were words. They received no hope from the Government benches and little respect. Instead, they got a classic case of kicking the can down the road. That is...

We can follow other countries such as France, which in 2017 brought forward legislation, or Germany...
