Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (12 Jul 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I am sorry; that was my mistake. I will speak to the other three. On what the Minister has said with regard to oversight, the section actually says: A member of Garda personnel may utilise ANPR data to monitor the movements of a particular vehicle (in this section and section 18 referred to as “focussed monitoring”) only if that utilisation— (a) has been approved...

Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (12 Jul 2023)

Thomas Pringle: Perhaps the Minister could clarify a point. Section 17(1)(b) says that this type of monitoring may be authorised by a member of Garda personnel of a suitable rank or through the process under section 18. Is that "or" in the wrong place? To my mind, that means that, if a garda wants to get one of these orders, he or she only needs to meet the first criteria.

Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (12 Jul 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I move amendment No. 1: In page 14, to delete lines 9 to 41, and in page 15, to delete lines 1 to 12. This amendment calls for the deletion of provisions relating to focused monitoring by a member of Garda personnel relating to arrestable offences and matters relating to the security of the State. I am seeking the deletion of the whole section. This is warranted because, as I read the...

European Council Meeting: Statements, Questions and Answers (12 Jul 2023)

Thomas Pringle: Does the Government believe that the title "European Peace Facility" is appropriate, given it is used to buy arms for Ukraine? Will Ireland take a position on the appropriateness of this title? Has Frontex been discussed at any European Council meetings? Has Ireland taken a position on the abuse it is carrying out every day in respect of migrants, including their drowning in the Mediterranean?

European Council Meeting: Statements, Questions and Answers (12 Jul 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I am thankful for the opportunity to contribute to the statements on the European Council meeting which took place between 29 and 30 June. It was disappointing to see that these meetings were once again dominated by Ukraine, with the biggest crisis facing our planet and our very existence receiving only a fraction of the attention, labelled under "other items". It is also disappointing...

Investment in Football: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)

I support the motion and its call for the Government to give its backing to the FAI report on facility investment with a comprehensive State-backed investment programme, its call for a review of the sports capital and equipment programme grant and its call to address gender equality access issues within football. There is no doubt there...

Investment in Football: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I am glad to hear it. The club has been waiting a long time. The completion of a new stadium, finally, is vitally important to ensure football can continue as best it can in the club. Despite underinvestment, we have managed to produce many brilliant soccer players, such as Séamus Coleman from my hometown of Killybegs. However, these players are forced to move abroad to further...
