Report of the Joint Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Motion (12 Apr 2017)

John Brady: The irony is not lost on me that Fianna Fáil members bring themselves in here like knights in shining armour to save the day and bring an end to water charges. The irony is that this is the same political party that signed the deal with the troika that brought about the water charges in the first place. Fianna Fáil is the same political party that presided in government over cuts...

Report of the Joint Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Motion (12 Apr 2017)

John Brady: This is a long running saga that has been ongoing for three years. We know the grubby little deal that was put in place between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, kicking the issue down the road to this point to ensure that we did not go back to the polls and have another election in order that Fianna Fáil could have its say while propping up Fine Gael in government. It is important...

Report of the Joint Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Motion (12 Apr 2017)

Report of the Joint Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Motion (12 Apr 2017)

It signed up to the water charges with the troika. It was in favour of water charges.

Report of the Joint Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Motion (12 Apr 2017)

John Brady: One could ask what has brought us to this point. It is the fact that hundreds of thousands of people right across the State engaged in civil disobedience, protest and took to the streets in their tens of thousands. We had one of the largest, most successful mass movement organisations this country has seen in many years – the Right2Water movement - which mobilised on nine separate...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (12 Apr 2017)

John Brady: I am sure the Taoiseach is well aware that the Bus Éireann strike is in its 20th day. Talks at the Workplace Relations Commission collapsed yesterday. Following that, the unions and management referred a number of issues to the Labour Court for non-binding arbitration. The Labour Court heard the issues from yesterday and the talks have resumed this morning. It is clear, however, from...

Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Apr 2017)

John Brady: On the same issue, the Government has sat on the Kerr report for two years. Nine priority actions and 23 recommendations are identified in the Kerr report. It is a classic case of the Government fiddling while Rome burns. In my constituency of Wicklow, two post offices are now closed pending the outcome of this review. We know about the issue of the electronic fund transfer. That is a...
