Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Communications (30 May 2023)

John Brady: I want to be very clear. No community has the right to veto anybody living in that community. When I talk about communication, I am not referring to dialogue or negotiations; I am very much referring to communication. There has been a real failure by Government until this point to engage with communities and have proper communication. There are genuine concerns about a lack of services,...

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

John Brady: I will begin my comments with the unequivocal statement that violence and intimidation towards asylum seekers is absolutely and totally unacceptable.

Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2023)

John Brady: The sole motivation of bringing forward this important legislation is the full implementation of international law and holding those who breach international law to account.

Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 May 2023)

The Bill is designed to compel the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund to divest itself of all...
