John Brady: ...the operational procedures for the Israeli military on the ground in co-ordinating its military onslaught and genocide of the Palestinians, but also facilitating the guided munitions that are destroying and obliterating entire residential areas, multistorey residential units, schools, universities and UN compounds. Absolutely nothing is sacred. All of this is done with equipment and...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024)

John Brady: There is a level of hypocrisy in supporting a boycott of Russia but being happy to play against Israel, which, as we sit here, continues to destroy Gaza and kill men, women and children. The FAI has not voiced any concerns to either of the bodies.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024)

John Brady: Just two weeks ago, Mr. Feehan stated: “ ... quite frankly, we don’t believe this would make a blind bit of difference. What it will do is destroy our women’s international game for the next ten years.” There seems to be a large amount of hypocrisy in the positions being adopted. While the Government provided some guidelines in respect of Russia, and rightly so,...

John Brady: ...in over 20 years. Its forces came with tanks, planes, missiles and killer drones. They killed at least a dozen people, displaced thousands and, according to the deputy governor of Jenin, they destroyed, burned or damaged at least 80% of homes in the refugee camp.

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

John Brady: ...wrong and must be condemned. The attacks by far right ideologically driven people on vulnerable people in Sandwith Street in Dublin is shameful and completely unacceptable. Attacking and destroying the tents and personal belongings of people who are forced to live in tents on the roadside as a consequence of Government's failures represents a new low. It must be dealt with using the...

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

John Brady: ...delayed is justice denied. The Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, or his Government colleagues might tell me, but, more importantly, the Palestinian people, how many more villages have to be destroyed, how many more Palestinians have to be forcefully removed from their homes and how many more schools have to be destroyed before the Government stands up for international law and the...

John Brady: ...by the Israeli occupational forces. We saw that play out in Nablus over the past number of days where more than 100 Palestinian homes and more than 45 Palestinian cars were torched and many businesses were destroyed while Israeli forces watched. This is not in isolation. Palestinians have been talking about the increased settler violence against them for a long time. We saw some...

John Brady: ...aware that Ireland is part of the West Bank Protection Consortium where we have lodged a claim for the destruction of a fairly substantial amount of aid that was given to the Palestinian people and has been destroyed by Israel. There were EU-funded schools and other structures, and farm solar panels. It was very graphic last year when photographs emerged of aid that had been given, and...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members]: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

John Brady: ...the ground, but this has not just come about since the start of the year. It has been a systematic approach by successive Israeli Governments to displace Palestinians from their land, demolish and destroy their homes and disperse them into fragments of their land. We need to beyond the rhetoric of concern. We need definitive action from the international community, the EU and, in this...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (31 Jan 2023)

John Brady: ...to 18 million people remain in need of humanitarian aid in Ukraine. Russia is deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure. In some regions as many as half the healthcare facilities have been destroyed. Millions of children have been impacted through the destruction of schools. I re-emphasise my support for the work and investigations being undertaken by the investigator of the...

Confidence in Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Motion (13 Dec 2022)

John Brady: ...even more untold hardship, suffering and death on our streets, the housing emergency, crisis and debacle that the Minister oversees as the member of the Government responsible for housing is soul-destroying. Generations of ordinary people have been locked out of homeownership. Rents, which are among the highest in Europe, are leaching the lifeblood out of our young people. In the past...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Humanitarian Situation in Ukraine: Members of the Ukrainian Parliament (8 Nov 2022)

John Brady: ...We have seen Russia's onslaught on critical infrastructure, including electricity generation. Some of the most recent reports state that about 30% of Ukraine's electricity infrastructure has been destroyed. Will Mr. Merezhko update us on that? With regard to specific requests, the EU has given Ukraine about 500 generators. That is completely insufficient, particularly in the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ukraine War (10 May 2022)

John Brady: ...it certainly is not having its own way. It is hard to see how and when Russia will meet its military aims. In the meantime, unfortunately, we are seeing civilians being butchered and cities being destroyed. What role does the Minister see for a militarily non-aligned country such as Ireland in trying to push forward a peaceful solution? I absolutely agree that it is right and proper...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: Engagement with Ambassadors of Moldova and Romania (27 Apr 2022)

John Brady: ..., unfortunately, is coming under more and more pressure. As the ambassador said, the bridge that was struck yesterday just below Palanca was struck again this morning to ensure it was completely destroyed. In recent days we have also seen potential false flag operations in Transnistria. I refer to the destruction of two telecommunication towers. There were reports this morning that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of UN Special Rapporteur on Israel's Conduct of its Occupation of the Palestinian Territory: Discussion (31 Mar 2022)

John Brady: ..., Palestinians are still suffering. Palestinians homes are still being demolished. Palestinian schools are also being demolished. Irish aid we give to the Palestinian people is being disrupted, destroyed and demolished. What will it take, in the professor's mind, to force the international community to take action now to tackle head on the crime against humanity that is apartheid?

John Brady: .... We had a number of witnesses before the joint committee and one of the groups, the West Bank Protection Consortium, gave us evidence that in 2020, for example, 156 donor-funded structures were destroyed by the Israeli occupying forces in the occupied territories.

John Brady: ...media offices, libraries, police stations, a university, nine primary healthcare centres, six hospitals, the main Covid-19 laboratory and the office of the ministry of health have been deliberately destroyed. Those are all grave breaches of the Geneva Convention or, in other words, war crimes. Like all witnesses, we face the challenge to act under our moral obligation to attempt to...
