Consultative Forum on International Security Policy: Statements (18 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach Gníomhach. I thank him for the opportunity to speak on this very important topic, a topic about which I have been raising concerns for a while now. The establishment of a consultative forum on international security is, in my opinion, extremely duplicitous. I have been questioning the purpose of this forum since its announcement and have...

Targeted Investment in the Health Service: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach for the opportunity to speak on the motion. I also thank Deputy McNamara and his office for bringing this forward today. The current situation in hospitals across the country is absolutely dire, as the Minister of State will be aware. The fact that 2022 was the worst year on record for overcrowding in Irish hospitals is sadly not surprising. I have...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (16 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Minister of State for what she added to the reply. The written reply leaves a lot to be desired and was obviously something that was written by departmental officials or the HSE. It bears very little relationship to reality. It states the objective of the strategic working group is to develop a new vision for disability services in line with national policy based on a social...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: When I raised this matter with the Tánaiste previously, he wondered why it was even being brought up. I am again raising the issues of defective blocks in Donegal and, indeed, in more and more areas across the country. Despite the Tánaiste's best hopes, this issue has not been resolved. It is pressing for the families affected and getting more and more so. There is constant...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Minister for the update on the scheme. I welcome the fact that he is meeting with the working group for the owners of defective homes. That is vitally important. It is a sad reflection that the group has had to do the work to show that the banks are responsible and have commitments they must honour with regard to these mortgages when the Government should have undertaken that...
