- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (22 Nov 2018)
John Brady: Unfortunately, that does not provide the answers, certainty or reassurance for the teachers, pupils and parents at North Wicklow Educate Together post-primary school. They arrived at Leinster House today to hand in a letter and hoped to meet the Minister for Education and Skills. Instead they met somebody from his office and handed in the letter, but the principal has asked to meet the...

John Brady: I am disappointed that the Minister for Education and Skills is not present to deal with this.

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (22 Nov 2018)
John Brady: I understand. I will press on with it in the hope that the Minister here this evening might be able to give some answers. In 2013, patronage was awarded to Educate Together for a 1,000-pupil school in Bray. North Wicklow Educate Together school subsequently opened in September 2016 in temporary accommodation on Putland Road in Bray. The school has 180 pupils and 60 of them are due to...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (22 Nov 2018)
John Brady: I have been in communication with the previous Minister over the past two years. We have hit brick walls and there has been stonewalling. There have been no answers and no solutions. I have been in touch with the current Minister, Deputy McHugh, who seems to be taking it more seriously. There is still no certainty and no answers. There is a pending crisis for this school and we need...
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018: Committee Stage (22 Nov 2018)
John Brady: A number of amendments have been ruled out of order. Will the Chairman refer to them now or as they arise?
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018: Committee Stage (22 Nov 2018)
John Brady: I move amendment No. 11:In page 11, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following: “Report on reduced jobseekers payments 11.The Minister shall prepare and lay a report before the Houses of the Oireachtas on the financial and social effects of the reduced rates of jobseekers payments to young jobseekers aged between 18 and 25 years since 2009, taking into account poverty rates...

- Select Committee on Social Protection: Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018: Committee Stage (22 Nov 2018)
John Brady: I will press the amendment. The Minister said a report is being carried out. Maynooth University is carrying out a report which is not, however, looking at the issues in the areas I want looked at. I refer to the financial impacts, the poverty impact and the issues with homelessness. We know that in August this year, youth homelessness increased again. There were 893 people between the...
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018: Committee Stage (22 Nov 2018)
John Brady: It is not. It is being carried out by Maynooth University but it is not specific to the areas I am talking about. The report being carried out by Maynooth University - we have seen the drafts - is looking at the impact these measures have had on unemployment levels. When Deputy O'Dea is explaining the rationale of bringing in discriminatory cuts he is losing. The right thing to do is to do...
- Select Committee on Social Protection: Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018: Committee Stage (22 Nov 2018)
John Brady: It needs to be included because this sets a distinct six month timeframe within which it would be produced and brought before the House. We cannot allow this to drag on. Unfortunately, that appears to be the modus operandi of the Department. This was committed to and was supposed to be published in the second quarter of 2016. That date was missed and in the meantime youth homelessness and...
