John Brady: 111. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will provide the details of the Government's response to the ceasefire in Tigray; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57919/22]
- Post-European Council: Statements (16 Nov 2022)
John Brady: I want to follow up on the point several Deputies and I made on the Russian decision to sanction 52 Members of this House of the Oireachtas. It is very clearly an attempt to silence critics who have rightly decided to stand with Ukraine against the brutal occupation and invasion seven months ago. I reiterate my call, a call made by Members of this House and others over the past seven...
- Post-European Council: Statements (16 Nov 2022)
John Brady: Since the European Council last met, another deadline in the Northern Assembly has come and gone, with the DUP still refusing to re-enter the Executive. Ministers can no longer hold office and take decisions to support the people in the North. The DUP has cited concerns about the protocol, but in reality it is holding democracy to ransom. There is no justification for putting Stormont on...
- Retained Firefighters: Motion [Private Members] (15 Nov 2022)
John Brady: Members of the retained service and their 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...
- Retained Firefighters: Motion [Private Members] (15 Nov 2022)
John Brady: I move: That Dáil Éireann: acknowledges that: — Retained Firefighters provide an invaluable service to their communities; — the role of our emergency front line defenders, including Retained Firefighters, involves considerable personal sacrifice; and — increased capital investment, new stations and equipment is meaningless if there is not an adequate...

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (Revised) (10 Nov 2022) John Brady: I welcome the interim agreement that has been put in place for the post-1994 sergeants. What impact will that have on pensions provision? That is an interim solution for two years but we need to find a permanent solution. We know the impact the shortage of about 400 sergeants and those of equivalent rank throughout the Defence Forces is having. I ask the Minister to provide an overview on...

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (Revised) (10 Nov 2022) John Brady: Could I have an update on the working time directive? The Minister and I have spoken extensively about this in the Chamber and elsewhere and also about the impact of not recording the hours that members of our Defence Forces work. More important, we have spoken about paying them accordingly. Could I have an update on the engagement the Minister is having on the issue, including with the...

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (Revised) (10 Nov 2022) John Brady: I have a final question. I ask the Chair for a little latitude on this one. It concerns the €1,000 Covid payment to members of the Defence Forces and also those in other sectors that were promised the payment back in March. Could I have an update on that? I realise the responsibility does not lie with the Minister or his Department but elsewhere. It was suggested at the previous...
