Thomas Pringle: It is not going to do that.

Thomas Pringle: So, there are no real effective consequences for the behaviour. There is nothing that is going to force it to happen.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: Up to now, there has been no effective reason for it, except they have caught extra quota, and that has been factored in. There has not been any comeback for them in relation to that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: The Minister said there are real and effective consequences, but the EU has not been willing to use any of the tools at its disposal. I will move on. The Minister also mentioned the Common Fisheries Policy review group in his submission. Perhaps it is my own fault and I should have been aware of it, but when I looked at the report I noted for the first time that the actual Common Fisheries...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: Did that happen?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: Does the Minister think it is a coincidence that after Brexit it was decided not to have a review of the Common Fisheries Policy?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: The review of the Common Fisheries Policy was there already anyway. It had happened on a number of occasions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: Is the Minister saying that the review document that has been produced has been agreed with the fishermen, the fishing industry and the Minister?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: Does the Minister think that represents a good ambition for the fishing industry?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Enforcement of Court Orders relating to Child Maintenance, Access and Custody: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: Most of my questions have probably already been asked and answered. The most interesting thing has been what Ms Kiernan said about there being a philosophical argument. That is the problem with the whole system. The Department of Social Protection is definitely in a different place philosophically from anybody who deals with children. The Department does not, I believe, have the best...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Enforcement of Court Orders relating to Child Maintenance, Access and Custody: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)
Thomas Pringle: This might not be relevant but it occurred to me just now. What about children deciding whether they should have access or not? Should that be provided for as well? Somebody could be paying maintenance but the child does not want to see them. Should that be allowed as well?
- Creeslough, County Donegal: Statements (8 Nov 2022)
Thomas Pringle: I welcome the Ceann Comhairle back to the House after his recent illness. Yesterday marked one month since the devastating explosion took place at the Applegreen station in Creeslough. Donegal has not been the same since that day. I speak on behalf of the entire county when I say that our hearts are broken and our thoughts are constantly with those who passed and their friends and...
- Long Covid Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (9 Nov 2022)
Thomas Pringle: The issue of long Covid is very serious and I fully support the call in the motion to fully staff post-Covid clinics, to establish a multidisciplinary public health team to review and manage long Covid care in the population, and to develop the rehabilitative and recovery programme designed to meet the needs of those experiencing long Covid. The effects of long Covid are extremely...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Nov 2022)
Thomas Pringle: I understood I was to speak. In Donegal, 7,700 properties are lying vacant while 2,646 families are on the housing list in the county. There is no doubt that there is a direct link between dereliction and the current housing crisis. There is also no doubt that the whole us-versus-them narrative is one that has been fuelled by this Government unfortunately. For this, it should be ashamed....
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Nov 2022)
