Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (5 May 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Minister of State for her response. I echo her calls for the HSE to publish the Brandon report even at this late stage. Its constant excuses as to why it cannot publish it do not stand up at this stage and do not wash at all. I think everybody knows that. The HSE probably knows it but will never admit it. While this HIQA report is good, HIQA is not in the clear itself. It...

The Northern Ireland protocol supposedly treats the Six Counties...

Rising Rental Costs: Motion [Private Members] (4 May 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I thank Sinn Féin for the opportunity to speak on this motion today, or maybe it is more accurate to thank the party for the opportunity to shout into the void once again because that is truly what it feels like trying to have a discussion on this topic with this Government and, to be honest, with all previous Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael governments, which have, unfortunately, allowed...

Eurojust: Motion (4 May 2022)
