John Brady: It would be useful to have the annual returns and the dividends the State gets through ISIF, and information on how long - how many years - those investments have been in place.

Matters Arising in RTÉ: Statements (4 Jul 2023)

John Brady: ...Tubridy or Noel Kelly, the central figures of this affair. It has been clear from the outset that a cosy consensus and an insider culture exist within RTÉ and have done so in Irish public bodies for far too long. Individuals at the heart of RTÉ have been allowed to act in a manner they saw fit, accountable to no one, in a culture absent of anything approaching an appropriate...

John Brady: ...statistic points out that 19% of households do not have flood insurance cover, after the State has spent millions. I think the figure I gave earlier was €46 million. This was to put in place long-campaigned-for and long-awaited infrastructure to mitigate floods. Still, however, 19% of households are being refused flood cover. That is why I have tabled this legislation. The...

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

John Brady: .... 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 full resources of the criminal...

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

John Brady: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." The symbolism of this Bill coming before the Dáil the day after the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, is a reminder of the long and ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people and the failure of the international community to deliver justice. The Bill is designed to compel the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund to divest itself of all...
