John Brady (born 1 January 1948) is an Irish former Fianna Fáil politician.
Brady was re-elected at the 2007 general election for the Meath West constituency.
[2] In February 2011 Brady, who as chairman of the Oireachtas Agriculture Committee received an extra €20,000 on top of his €100,000 annual salary along with €70,000 in expenses, claimed he was "no better off" than when he was a councillor in 1974 on a salary of £6.
[3][4] Fine Gael's Alan Shatter commented: "it is perverse an elected member of the party that got us into this situation should whinge about his €100,000 salary, perhaps a stint in the real world will remind him of the struggles that people are facing".
[5] He lost his seat at the 2011 general election.
