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

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...

Thomas Pringle: The Minister of State will get into no trouble here.

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...

Legacy Issues in Northern Ireland and New Decade, New Approach: Statements (1 Feb 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I note the title of the topic day, which is New Decade, New Approach. A new approach is exactly what is needed, because our current approach is not good enough and the cognitive dissonance of most of the Republic of Ireland regarding the North badly needs to be addressed.
