Europe Day: Statements (9 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: Europe Day was created to celebrate Europe's achievements and unity. We have been told that it is a day of "reflection on the co-operation, prosperity and peace that has come about through the European project". However, I believe it would be disingenuous for us to reflect on and talk about the European Union while at the same time overlooking its many, significant flaws. Reflecting on our...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I know the amendment is being withdrawn, but I wish to ask a question. The Minister said in his response that he is not satisfied this amendment is required in this section. In what section does the Minister think the amendment would be required?

Planning and Rural Housing: Motion [Private Members] (10 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I am thankful for the opportunity to speak to this motion on planning and rural housing. There is no doubt that this is an extremely important issue, particularly for those of us living in rural Ireland, and there is no doubt that the Government has failed spectacularly in addressing the current housing crisis. Recent EUROSTAT figures say it all. Ireland is the most expensive country in...

Thomas Pringle: Youth services are a lifeline for many communities in Donegal. In many towns and villages throughout the county, the only facility available to locals is the local parish hall.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I understand the amendment is now being withdrawn but, on what the Minister said about the ombudsman and the Commissioner's responsibilities to that office, I could be wrong but I do not believe the sections he cited said anything about actions being timely. While the Commissioner has to respond to and work with the ombudsman, nowhere does it seem to say that he has to respond in a timely...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: When I raised this matter with the Tánaiste previously, he wondered why it was even being brought up. I am again raising the issues of defective blocks in Donegal and, indeed, in more and more areas across the country. Despite the Tánaiste's best hopes, this issue has not been resolved. It is pressing for the families affected and getting more and more so. There is constant...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Minister for the update on the scheme. I welcome the fact that he is meeting with the working group for the owners of defective homes. That is vitally important. It is a sad reflection that the group has had to do the work to show that the banks are responsible and have commitments they must honour with regard to these mortgages when the Government should have undertaken that...
