Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: State Visits (21 Mar 2023)

John Brady: The opportunity should also be taken to brief President Biden around the British amnesty legislation, if that has not happened by then. I hope it has been raised with the President. There is an opportunity to brief him on the issue. It is not every day that this happens, I believe 2011 was the last time we had a US President here in Ireland. There is also the whole issue of the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (21 Mar 2023)

John Brady: There may have been an agreement in principle but the reality on the ground is there are extreme right-wing ministers in the Israeli Government. On Sunday, the Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, claimed there are no Palestinians because there is not a Palestinian people. That comes from the same minister who called for the town of Huwara to be wiped out after the attack by illegal...

John Brady: 71. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his response to the ongoing illegal settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territories; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13672/23]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (21 Mar 2023)

John Brady: What is the Government's response to the ongoing and significantly escalated settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories? What action is the Government prepared to take to hold Israel to account?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (21 Mar 2023)

John Brady: As I outlined in my question, the attacks on Palestinians have escalated, as the Tánaiste will agree. Attacks on Palestinian homes, cars and livestock, along with shootings and knife attacks, the theft of livestock and land and the burning of crops are ongoing daily. Much of this is happening under the guidance of the occupying Israeli army. The attack on Huwara was described as the...

Anniversary of Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Motion (22 Feb 2023)

John Brady: Friday marks the first anniversary of the brutal, illegal invasion of Ukraine, the impact of which on the psyche of the body politic of Europe can be compared to that of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Indeed, it may take a generation or more before the full implications can be measured of the decision by President Putin to put a torch to the norms of international behaviour which...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (2 Feb 2023)

John Brady: The Minister has come in here and said he is only a month in the job. I hate to remind him that he has been Taoiseach over the past two years. That speaks to the lack of urgency and seriousness the Government has given the major crisis within the Defence Forces. The Minister's comments hit the nail on the head. He said that of the 38 early actions, two thirds have been implemented, as if...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (2 Feb 2023)

John Brady: 10. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence his Department’s response to the change in practice where the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform will no longer allow his Department to retain budget savings arising from the shortfall in the establishment figure of the Defence Forces; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5160/23]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (2 Feb 2023)

John Brady: What is the Minister and his Department's response to the change of practice whereby the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform will no longer allow his Department to retain budget savings arising from the shortfall in the establishment figure in the Defence Forces?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (2 Feb 2023)

John Brady: The practice that was allowed to develop over many years whereby the Department was forced to rely on the inability to reach the establishment figure was an inbuilt reliance on failure to plug gaps and shortcomings in funding for other elements and areas within the Defence Forces. It spoke of a lack of ambition and desire to address the chronic haemorrhaging of members of the Defence Forces....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (2 Feb 2023)

John Brady: Unfortunately, I must disagree with the Tánaiste again. There is a lack of urgency. I refer back to the failure of the Government to reach its own minimum targets for bringing forward the heads of a Bill on the working time directive. The Tánaiste outlined some of the positive measures that have been made on some of the allowance, but as we stand here there are many members of...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (2 Feb 2023)

John Brady: This is about solutions and those solutions were provided by the commission 12 months ago. The Government responded with its analysis of the commission's recommendations seven months ago, in July of last year, and there is still a massive haemorrhaging of members of the Defence Forces. There is a lack of willingness, as far as I can see, to fully implement all of the commission's...

John Brady: Next week marks the first anniversary of the publication of the report and recommendations of the Commission on the Defence Forces. Will the Tánaiste outline the process of implementing its recommendations? What meetings have taken place and what is the schedule for the full implementation of all the recommendations?
