Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Delays in Departmental Scheme Payments: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jun 2025)

Paraic Brady: Before my time is up, I will be very clear on something. We are going to get away with this now because farmers will accept it if they get their payment now. Can Mr. Savage guarantee us that this nonsense will not happen next year and that it will be solved? I need a commitment from him. Will he stand up and say that he has it resolved and that he will take responsibility if happens again...

Committee on Public Petitions and the Ombudsmen: Engagement with the Office of the Ombudsman (24 Jun 2025)

Paraic Brady: Has that become an issue since Covid-19? We have seen many nursing homes, especially the smaller ones, closing down. We moved patients into the bigger nursing homes. In my locality it seemed to have caused a lot of stress for some of the patients who were moved. It caused confusion regarding properties. We have now seen an increase of sales of properties where nursing homes have sold...

We were given assurances from the previous Minister, Stephen Donnelly, it would not be moved and I...

To answer the question, yes, we have, if they ask.
