Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (20 Feb 2020)

Thomas Pringle: I take this opportunity to wish the Ceann Comhairle well on his re-election. The people in Donegal who elected me were very clearly concerned about the issues of housing, health and climate change and the impact they were having on their lives. Housing is an issue right across Ireland - not only in Dublin but in rural Ireland as well - and they very clearly stated that Fianna Fáil...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (18 Dec 2019)

Thomas Pringle: This is a key moment of political accountability for Ireland's action on climate change in the past year.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Dec 2019)

Thomas Pringle: The Taoiseach gave a great rundown of the HSE's proposals for next year but the HSE will still be €420 million short of addressing what it calls demographic, technological and other pressures.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Dec 2019)

Thomas Pringle: I will move on to a topic that the Taoiseach does have some control over, since he seems to have no control over childcare facilities. In one of the last Leaders' Questions put to the Taoiseach in 2019 before the Christmas holidays, it is apt to mention the deplorable state of the health service. In particular, I refer to Letterkenny University Hospital and the legacy of this Government to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2019)

Thomas Pringle: I thank Mr. Mulvey for his responses. Probably some of my questions will be duplications of others given that so many people have spoken before me. I want to tease out some points.
