- European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)
John Brady: The core of the issue we are discussing is the Government’s shambolic approach to the asylum issue from the outset. The Government is now attempting to present the EU migration pact as a catch-all solution to the current crisis, the root of which lies in the Government’s failure to develop a coherent plan. Ultimately, it is operating a reactionary approach to events as they...

The licence was issued to...

John Brady: The NTA would argue the point, but it is the privatisation of bus routes. I stand over that. The evidence shows that the privatisation of these routes has failed. I will ask about performance-related fines. Does Ms Graham have figures for the fines imposed on Go-Ahead Ireland in 2018?

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
John Brady: I can speak from a Wicklow perspective. Three routes were handed over to Go-Ahead Ireland - the 185, the 184 and the 45A. Throughout the years since Go-Ahead Ireland has taken them over, there have been consistent failures to provide a service that is fit for purpose. I have given many stories of how it has impacted on different people. For example, they are left waiting for buses that...
