Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2021)

Thomas Pringle: I would love to thank the Taoiseach for his answer but I am afraid I cannot.

Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Thomas Pringle: That is fine. It is interesting to sit here in a debate to transpose EU legislation onto our Statute Book only to listen to a debate about the theft of dogs. When I heard this debate was coming up and it was being discussed earlier, I was thinking that it was not appropriate for this Bill. However, I then thought that the Government is going to have to show to Europe that we have...
