Bovine Diseases. (4 Oct 2005)

Johnny Brady: As I have not been promoted yet, I cannot answer Deputy Breen's question. Does the Minister see a change arising in the practice of culling entire herds affected by BSE? Many farmers and organisations, such as those we met in her county last week, raised this issue. They feel that only the affected animal or related animals should be culled. Is a change likely in that area?

Departmental Properties. (4 Oct 2005)

Johnny Brady: The Minister of State may remember that on the Land Bill 2004 I raised an important question on Land Commission land being handed back to county councils.

Those to whom I spoke last night and others who were interviewed for radio had the highest...

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (12 May 2005)

Johnny Brady: I am glad to speak on this Bill but I, like many others, have been badly affected by the change. Although I welcome two three seat constituencies in County Meath, I am disappointed some of the areas of north Meath, particularly my home area of Kells which I have served for almost 30 years as a county councillor, has been divided. It is unfair to the people of what is a quite rural area. My...

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (12 May 2005)

Johnny Brady: This was my electoral area of Kells which runs from the far side of Oldcastle, past Mountnugent and up to Kingscourt on one side and back up to Ardee on the other side. As a Deputy, I was assigned that part of the Slane area with which Deputy O'Dowd would be very familiar. These areas have little in common with Ashbourne, Ratoath, Dunboyne or Dunshaughlin and it is unfortunate that the Kells...

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed). (12 May 2005)

Johnny Brady: In 1974, when I was elected to Meath County Council, part of the Kells area in north Meath was included in the constituency of Cavan. As I said, it helped to elect the great former Tánaiste, John Wilson, who held several ministerial posts, including education, and whose nephew is a Member of the Upper House. The other part of the Kells area was included in the constituency of Monaghan,...

Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill 2004: Second Stage. (22 Mar 2005)

Johnny Brady: I record my strong support for the Minister's position on this matter. The history of fur farming can be traced back to 1866 in the United States of America. It is a well established and highly regulated industry and gives valuable permanent and casual employment in some of the most disadvantaged areas of this country. A considerable amount of research has been undertaken into different...

Order of Business. (22 Mar 2005)

Johnny Brady: I wish to be associated with the remarks of previous speakers in welcoming the two new Deputies and wishing them well. I have known Deputy McEntee for more than 30 years when I started to ramble around Nobber for reasons other than political ones. I got to know him then and we have been good friends since. I also know his father, Mr. Tony McEntee, very well. He represented the Irish Farmers'...
