Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: Youth services are a lifeline for many communities in Donegal. In many towns and villages throughout the county, the only facility available to locals is the local parish hall. The Taoiseach can imagine how important this hall is, not least to young people. Youth clubs are often the sole places for socialisation outside of school and provide an important and safe space for young people to...

Planning and Rural Housing: Motion [Private Members] (10 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I am thankful for the opportunity to speak to this motion on planning and rural housing.

Europe Day: Statements (9 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: Europe Day was created to celebrate Europe's achievements and unity. We have been told that it is a day of "reflection on the co-operation, prosperity and peace that has come about through the European project". However, I believe it would be disingenuous for us to reflect on and talk about the European Union while at the same time overlooking its many, significant flaws. Reflecting on our...

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (9 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: I understand the amendment is now being withdrawn but, on what the Minister said about the ombudsman and the Commissioner's responsibilities to that office, I could be wrong but I do not believe the sections he cited said anything about actions being timely. While the Commissioner has to respond to and work with the ombudsman, nowhere does it seem to say that he has to respond in a timely...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: We all remember the shocking images from November 2020 of a bog slide at Meenbog in Donegal. The sight of trees slipping down the hill while they were still standing was truly shocking. Now, two and a half years later, there is no word of the investigation into the cause of the slide, as if we did not know what it was. Meenbog is the site of a significant wind farm development, a...
