Cancer Care: Motion [Private Members] (2 Feb 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I wholeheartedly welcome and support this motion. What is proposed in the motion should have really gone without saying. The fact that people who are diagnosed with cancer are not only faced with monetary hurdles but are actively hindered and hounded by their own Government is a resounding disgrace. Surely, the €4.3 million that has been thrown into debt collection could have been...

Sea-Fisheries (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (2 Feb 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the amendments. I fully support the three amendments in this grouping, which do exactly what the Members who proposed them have said. It is acting reasonably.

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Minister for his responses to the questions but he did not actually deal with anything I asked him with regard to the amendment. It is probably the only one that spoke to the amendment. We had a nice around-the-houses debate in general around fishing and stuff like that but that is not really the nature of what we should be discussing tonight. Yes, I did support 30 days in...

European Union Regulation: Motion (3 Feb 2022)

Thomas Pringle: As we know, this motion on the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund is coming up for adoption today. It is interesting to read the regulations from the EU governing this fund. As I read the document, I wondered what the real intention of it was. It seems clear to me that it is to stop immigration to the EU from war-torn and economically fragile African and Middle Eastern countries....
