Other Questions: Jobseeker's Allowance Payments (11 Apr 2017)

John Brady: We are aware of the ongoing discrimination against our young people aged under 26 who are unemployed. This has been borne out by evidence, through constituents, by people coming forward and by a number of organisations. The budget just gone has continued that discrimination.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: State Pension (Contributory) Eligibility (11 Apr 2017)

John Brady: I will not take lectures from the Minister as to who writes my speeches or dictates my policy. My party members dictate my party's policies. I question where the Minister gets his right-wing policies from. The simple fact of the matter is that since 2012, one third of new applicants for the State pension have received smaller pensions than they would have received had they retired prior to...
