- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Rail Services (18 Dec 2019)
John Brady: The railway line between Dublin and Rosslare has not been invested in or upgraded for many decades. It is not fit for purpose in its current form. Just five trains travel through County Wicklow to Dublin each day. By the time the two trains that leave Arklow at 6.03 a.m. and 6.57 a.m. get to the station in Wicklow town, there is barely any standing room left. Unfortunately, thousands of...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Dec 2019)
John Brady: A report on the impact of reduced rates on young jobseekers was due to be published in 2016, as per the commitment in Pathways to Work. More than three years later and, quite coincidentally, on the same day as I submitted a freedom of information request to the Minister on communications with her Department relating to the report, the report landed on the Minister's desk. That was on 3...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fire Service Staff (12 Dec 2019)

They had a number of concerns, including the vetting of calls. One of the main concerns was the manning levels in the station. Bray fire station is a two-pump station, which means there should be 15 firefighters but there were...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fire Service Staff (12 Dec 2019)
John Brady: I thank the Minister for her response which clearly outlines all the issues and problems we have. Fire services are the responsibility of local authorities as opposed to a national fire authority. We need one body to implement policy and address the needs of an area based on risk. I outlined all the difficulties with the fire service in Bray. These problems did not emerge in 2018 but...

It was not surprising news because throughout the 30-day consultation process in which Rondo Food engaged with representatives of the workforce, it undermined the entire process. It had engineers over from Germany measuring up the equipment and...
