- Topical Issue Debate: Coastal Protection (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: I listened with intent to the Minister of State's response. Clearly, the local authority has identified this as an area of grave concern. While there was some limited flooding in the area during Storm Ophelia, there are commercial and residential properties in it that are at risk of serious flooding. There are several problems, one of which is the fact that the current structures are being...
- Topical Issue Debate: Coastal Protection (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Seán Kyne, for taking this question. Unfortunately, it is not the Minister of State, Deputy Kevin "Boxer" Moran. Arklow, like a number of towns in County Wicklow, is susceptible to serious flooding, and there have been some very serious flooding events in Arklow over the recent years, both in terms of river flooding and coastal flooding....
- Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: On Monday night the Spanish high court jailed without bail two Catalan civil society leaders. They are being prosecuted for organising peaceful demonstrations in the run-up to the 1 October independence referendum. This is totally reprehensible and a serious escalation of the Spanish state's clampdown on the Catalan people. As the Bills that had been scheduled for today have been cleared,...

- Financial Resolutions 2018 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (11 Oct 2017)
John Brady: There are elements of this budget to be welcomed but in reality much of the social protection measures are the reintroduction of old payments that Fine Gael either cut or abolished, announcements of new schemes without any substance as to what they actually are, and name changes. Only Fine Gael could bring about a situation where for the second budget in a row, lone parents will be better...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection Remit and Legislative Agenda: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (28 Sep 2017)
John Brady: My first point concerns the gender pay gap. The Minister's refusal to look at this is disappointing when there has been so much talk of the gender pay gap. The changes introduced in 2012 are unacceptable and the impact that these have had on 40,000 people, most of them women, is disgraceful. A change in this situation will cost money, absolutely, but we in Sinn Féin have been able to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection Remit and Legislative Agenda: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (28 Sep 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection Remit and Legislative Agenda: Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (28 Sep 2017)
John Brady: I have asked the Minister about discrimination towards young jobseekers many times, including in the Chamber just last week. She replied that any young unemployed person who engages in any kind of training or upskilling will get the full payment. Some of these people have Masters degrees, Minister, and we now expect them to engage in further upskilling. They do not need upskilling. They...
