- Correcting Pension Inequities: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: The reversal of the 2012 changes is nowhere to be found in Fianna Fáil’s confidence and supply agreement with Fine Gael. The cost of the reversal of the 2012 changes is nowhere to be found in its general election manifesto either.
- Correcting Pension Inequities: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: There are no costings whatsoever. It appears in a small byline without costings. Fianna Fáil did not even see fit to raise the reversal of the 2012 changes with the Taoiseach or the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Deputy Regina Doherty, during the deliberations on budget 2018, despite its protests to the contrary. Mentioning the issue somewhere along the line,...
- Correcting Pension Inequities: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: In December 2016 Sinn Féin brought forward a pension equality and fairness motion, calling on the Government to restore the pension bands and rates to their pre-September 2012 position. It was the very first motion I brought forward and, as it was such a serious matter, I felt the need to do it. Our friends in Fianna Fáil refused to support the motion and we can see their...
- Correcting Pension Inequities: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: Ten months later we have a motion from the same Fianna Fáil Party calling for the same treatment that they refused to support in a motion tabled last year. The Minister has stated that in every complex system there are winners and losers and that in this system there is an anomaly that disadvantages a very small number of people relative to the large number of pensioners we have....

- Topical Issue Debate: Coastal Protection (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: I listened with intent to the Minister of State's response. Clearly, the local authority has identified this as an area of grave concern. While there was some limited flooding in the area during Storm Ophelia, there are commercial and residential properties in it that are at risk of serious flooding. There are several problems, one of which is the fact that the current structures are being...
- Topical Issue Debate: Coastal Protection (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Seán Kyne, for taking this question. Unfortunately, it is not the Minister of State, Deputy Kevin "Boxer" Moran. Arklow, like a number of towns in County Wicklow, is susceptible to serious flooding, and there have been some very serious flooding events in Arklow over the recent years, both in terms of river flooding and coastal flooding....
- Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Oct 2017)
John Brady: On Monday night the Spanish high court jailed without bail two Catalan civil society leaders. They are being prosecuted for organising peaceful demonstrations in the run-up to the 1 October independence referendum. This is totally reprehensible and a serious escalation of the Spanish state's clampdown on the Catalan people. As the Bills that had been scheduled for today have been cleared,...
