Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (27 Oct 2021)

Thomas Pringle: I support this amendment. It is reasonable. This Bill provides for a lot of blows to fishermen and what they do. Then it provides that the appeal should be accompanied by a fee which may be determined by the Minister. This Minister might be okay and amenable to a lesser fee, but he is going to revisit this from time to time and it could become another unfair burden. We will see what fee...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (27 Oct 2021)

Thomas Pringle: The Department’s view of a reasonable fee may be different from the view of people in the real world. There is a certain amount of arbitrariness involved which is causing difficulty.

That is vital because how can we be certain that the HSE is implementing changes that could prevent this happening somewhere else? Also, how can we be certain that it has not already happened...

Finance Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Nov 2021)

Thomas Pringle: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle. I am always very interested to read the Finance Bill every year to see the additional taxes and tax reliefs, which were not popular or trendy enough to make it into the Department’s big flashy budget announcement, but which are then quietly introduced much later via the Finance Bill. This year is no different as we see the introduction...
