- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
John Brady: As the people who have contacted me see it, and I agree, we are post Covid now and those issues are still happening on the routes I am speaking about.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
John Brady: There was an opportunity to address it but a decision was taken by the NTA to extend the contract for Go-Ahead Ireland and reward it for its failings. Am I right in saying that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
John Brady: BusConnects has the potential to provide a brilliant service. In my constituency, critical new local public transport routes, such as the L1, L2 and L3, are being rolled out. I am concerned that those new routes have been handed over to Go-Ahead Ireland to operate. Was there a tendering process for those new routes for Go-Ahead Ireland? Was Dublin Bus given the opportunity to provide the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
John Brady: Sorry. There is a real concern that given the failures of Go-Ahead Ireland to put in place a service that people can rely on, the lessons have not been learned and by rewarding them and giving them additional routes, we will be left with a continuation of further bad routes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
John Brady: They are operated by a service provider that has a very questionable track record both in the UK and Ireland.

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
John Brady: I wish to move on to another area, which is the complete underinvestment in our rail infrastructure. The Rosslare to Dublin rail line is absolutely not fit for purpose. I have raised this on a number of occasions. On a daily basis - this has been the case both pre-Covid and post Covid - six rail journeys a day stop at the train station in Wicklow town. Every morning, the 7.30 a.m. train...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)
John Brady: Sorry, I am conscious of the time. I appreciate there is a broader, bigger piece of work being looked at. However, people need the investment here and now. Surely we do not need consultants to look into putting an additional couple of carriages at the end of a train that is going through the train stations on a daily basis. We do not need a broader, longer piece of work to do something as...

- 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...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) John Brady: I welcome Mr. McCarthy and his colleagues. I want to focus on the handling of what seems to be a shambolic approach to the whole immigration system and the provision of accommodation. When I say a shambolic approach, that is certainly what it is from Government level right the way down. What is needed is a fair, efficient and enforced immigration system with proper communication with...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) John Brady: The fact is that I, as a public representative, and the community were lied to. Clearly, a decision had been taken to use that premises for accommodation. We were lied to right up until the last minute. The work was being carried out on the ground. We were misled as public representatives.
