(26 Oct 2023) John Brady: Okay, well, I would suggest there is a failure then in terms of communicating if there is a low uptake, which certainly there is. We know where the homes are and they have been identified. I would, therefore, suggest a re-look at how that communication takes place.

- Housing: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2023)
John Brady: No single issue excites a greater sense of anger with the Government than housing. Nothing illustrates the failure of the Government to deliver for ordinary workers and families as the housing crisis or the housing disaster. The arithmetic of this failure is absolutely astounding. House prices have increased by 28% and by an average of €70,000 since the Government took office....

John Brady: 33. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth what progress has been made by his Department on the eight areas of responsibility his Department has undertaken in respect of the 27 actions which are to be delivered upon in the national youth homelessness strategy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48544/23]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Strategies (7 Nov 2023)
John Brady: I ask the Minister for a progress update on areas of responsibility for his Department under the national youth homelessness strategy that was launched last year. I would like a progress report on the eight areas of responsibility his Department has.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Strategies (7 Nov 2023)
John Brady: As the Minister is well aware, the plan was launched on 9 November last year, so we are quickly approaching the first anniversary of its publication in two days' time. Essentially, we are in the month of November. The strategy kicked in in January, so we are nearly one year through a three-year strategy. I ask the Minister to honestly give his assessment as to whether the strategy is...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Strategies (7 Nov 2023)
John Brady: Absolutely, I appreciate that but when I talk about youth homeless figures of more than 1,500, I think the Minister will acknowledge that does not actually give the real figures because many young people - again, I hate to use statistics - are living longer at home and they are not captured by these figures. Nor do the figures include many young people who are sofa surfing. Young people who...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Safety (7 Nov 2023)
John Brady: 39. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if staff employed by private bodies contracted by the State to provide accommodation to the international protection accommodation services, IPAS, and beneficiaries of temporary protection, BOTPs, have received child safety training or been vetted by An Garda Síochána; and if he will make a statement...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Safety (7 Nov 2023)

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Safety (7 Nov 2023)
John Brady: The Minister will be aware that the Ombudsman for Children published a report last month which cites concerns that children in direct provision and other forms of accommodation are not safe. He wrote: “How we treat children coming to this country will be a defining issue of our generation, and as things stand, history will not judge us well.” While I welcome the measures in...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Safety (7 Nov 2023)
John Brady: Let us separate the two. In respect of BOTPs, the Minister said that much of this is shared accommodation provided by the private sector. A great deal of that involves the taking over of entire hotels. Even in my constituency, it has involved the use of other kinds of accommodation. There are 750 Ukrainians coming to Wicklow. Is the Minister saying there is no Garda vetting in those...
