Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Partnership and Cooperation Agreement Between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore: Motion (13 Oct 2021)

John Brady: I want to go back to a point raised by Deputy Clarke. That piece of work was referred back from the Dáil to the Joint Committee on European Union Affairs so it puzzles me how it has ended up before this committee, given the fact a trade agreement between the EU and Canada landed with the Committee on European Union Affairs. I sit on that committee and I am not sure if many of its other...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Turkish Foreign Policy and Turkey-Ireland Relations: Engagement with Ambassador of Turkey (12 Oct 2021)

John Brady: I thank the ambassador for his comments but he did not really deal with the question on the banning of political parties.
