Work had been ongoing...

- Defence (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (8 Sep 2020)
John Brady: The Irish Defence Forces has a proud tradition of service, be that with the forces of the United Nations, often in some of the most dangerous places across the world, patrolling our coasts or, indeed, our skies. It would be remiss of me to neglect to mention the incredible record of our Naval Service in the Mediterranean where it was responsible for saving thousands of lives. What we...
- Defence (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (8 Sep 2020)
John Brady: I wish to raise a serious concern. A response to a parliamentary question I received at the end of July states that only 17 former members of the Defence Forces have re-enlisted.
