Report of the Joint Committee on Justice on GDPR: Motion [Private Members] (6 Oct 2022)

Report of the Joint Committee on Justice on GDPR: Motion [Private Members] (6 Oct 2022)

Thomas Pringle: She is the only working Minister in the House because she is the only Minister who turns up in the House by the look of things. That is a sad reflection because this motion was tabled three weeks ago for debate in the House. There is a Minister of State in the Department of Justice, with no disrespect to the Minister of State who is present. I would put a lot of store by what this Minister...

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (5 Oct 2022)

Thomas Pringle: I will sum up the debate. I suppose I could be forgiven for thinking a reshuffle we knew nothing about has taken place and that the Minister for Transport has changed to the Minister of State, Deputy Collins, or the Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smyth, because nobody from the Department of Transport seems to have bothered to turn up to this debate, which is telling in itself. If there is...

Defective Concrete Products Levy: Motion [Private Members] (4 Oct 2022)

Thomas Pringle: This is a further punishment for the victims of the mica scandal. That is what is really shocking about this debate. It is a further piling on of wrongdoing on top of them.
