Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Thomas Pringle: The SFPA has to see what comes from the industry, if anything does. On the landings, one of the problems in Killybegs is that blue whiting going for human consumption requires different handling than if it is going for fishmeal and so on. It makes a big difference to the crews as regards wages because blue whiting for human consumption is of significantly greater value when it goes to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I thank our guests for their contributions and responses. Landings at Killybegs have been paused because the season has ended, probably until November or thereabouts, so there is time to resolve the issue between the SFPA and the fishing industry. What does the authority envisage doing over the coming months to resolve the issue once and for all?

Defamation Act 2009 Review: Statements (11 May 2022)

Thomas Pringle: ...it. If one was a spaceman looking down at this country, as I have stated previously, one would look at the legislation and say that this is a great place but when the spaceman actually lands here and sees how it is implemented, he or she would see that it is totally different. This is an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed. We cannot continue churning out legislation with no...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (5 May 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I welcome the student council of St. Catherine's Vocational School in Killybegs to the Visitors Gallery. Recently, we have seen fish being landed in Derry for processing in Killybegs. The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority, SFPA, has now removed the permission to land there, presumably because it is not a recognised EU port. The Northern Ireland protocol supposedly treats the Six Counties...

National Maternity Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (20 Jan 2022)

Thomas Pringle: ...and state-operated. We have to end the constant privatisation of our services. The new national maternity hospital is being constructed with public money. It will be built on publicly owned land. It must be in public ownership. It is our money so it must be our hospital. It poses the question why the State would invest €800 million of public money in a new national maternity...

Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Statements (30 Nov 2021)

Thomas Pringle: ...time we have heard reports of Israel selling its surplus vaccinations overseas while, as of August, a mere 16% of eligible Palestinians have been vaccinated.

The potential impact of not extending this deadline is very worrying and could see those who currently have rights over State land being deprived of those rights or at least having no means of registering them if an application is not made before 1 December 2021. This legislation is badly needed and is essential for...

Thomas Pringle: ...slow Internet. I am aware that this is not really the responsibility of the Minister who is here or within the Finance Act but it is a whole-of-government response and there are parts of rural Ireland, even within towns and villages, which do not have any Internet availability and this needs to be addressed. I have stated in my speech on budget day that a good tax system would have...
