- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Naval Service (23 Mar 2023)

The strength of the Naval Service is approximately 770, although the active and effective strength is probably less than 750. Thirteen months ago, when the commission's report was published, that number stood at 867. That it is now 100 less than it was 13 months ago shows that the haemorrhaging...

Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Revised)
Vote 36 - Defence (Revised) (14 Feb 2023) John Brady: I have several issues to raise with the Tánaiste. The first concerns the current strength of the Permanent Defence Force. I welcome the new metric but it is bizarre that it is new. The output target for this year is to increase the numbers up to 8,600 from what is, in my estimation, an all-time low of 7,987 currently. Will the Tánaiste outline what plans are in place for...

- Defence Forces: Motions (5 Jul 2022)
John Brady: We have two fundamental issues to discuss today, namely, the service of the Irish Defence Forces with the UN for 2020 and 2021 and approval of Ireland's participation in four projects involving PESCO. On the face of it, these are two separate issues. In reality, however, participation in one will impact on Ireland's participation in the other. This may colour the future perspective adopted...
- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) Projects: Motion (30 Jun 2022)
John Brady: I believe there is an attempt to obscure the continuous erosion of Ireland's neutrality by attempting to portray the participation in PESCO as benign training and co-operation opportunities for the Defence Forces. It is impossible to separate it away from the stated position and rhetoric from officials within the EU and European parties. The Minister's party is a member of the European...
