- European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)
John Brady: The core of the issue we are discussing is the Government’s shambolic approach to the asylum issue from the outset. The Government is now attempting to present the EU migration pact as a catch-all solution to the current crisis, the root of which lies in the Government’s failure to develop a coherent plan. Ultimately, it is operating a reactionary approach to events as they...

- Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)
John Brady: I thank the Social Democrats for bringing the motion before us. It once again places the spotlight on the chaos, hypocrisy and utter failure of the Government to address the crippling housing crisis within the State. The Government's approach clearly is not working. It exposes a chaotic approach to immigration that has failed communities and those coming to these shores seeking...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (29 Feb 2024)

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (29 Feb 2024)
John Brady: A tent to 1,000 asylum seekers?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (29 Feb 2024)
John Brady: Not only is the Minister failing communities, he is also failing those who are coming to these shores seeking protection by providing non-human right-compliant accommodation, something he gave a commitment to end. I appreciate without a doubt that there have been challenges. However, when the war in Ukraine broke out, the Minister and his Government colleagues were saying we should expect...

John Brady: 96. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth when he expects to publish the revised White Paper on ending direct provision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9686/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (29 Feb 2024)
John Brady: We need a fair, efficient and enforced immigration system. On the Government's watch, it has failed on all three of those counts and probably no more so than with the failure to tackle the issue of direct provision in a policy that was laid out in 2020. There has been some chatter and commentary about a revision of the ending of direct relation. In November, it was said that a memorandum...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Direct Provision System (29 Feb 2024)
John Brady: I thank the Minister for that. Unfortunately, however, there is no clarity. Assurances were given as far back as November that an updated or revised memo on the White Paper would be produced and given to Cabinet within weeks of that. We are now in March and the Minister is failing to address the elephant in the room that is the war profiteering by many speculators right across the State....
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Emergency Accommodation (29 Feb 2024)
John Brady: I thank the Minister for his reply. Unfortunately, he failed to answer the specific question. He stated that his Department met Fáilte Ireland regularly, but he did not address the serious issues facing communities across the State. For example, more than 100 Ukrainians have been placed in Carnew in my constituency of Wicklow, but there is only a part-time GP service with waiting...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Emergency Accommodation (29 Feb 2024)
John Brady: The approach taken by the Department and the Government has failed utterly and seems to be led by speculators making millions of euro from the process. It does not take into consideration the needs of communities on which additional pressures have been placed. Many Ministers have given false promises in this Chamber. For example, additional services were promised when Syrian refugees first...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Emergency Accommodation (29 Feb 2024)
John Brady: 79. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to provide details of what audits are being carried out in areas where his Department has taken the decision to place refugees; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9685/24]
