Thomas Pringle: ...up in Dublin that would be in Ireland but not part of the member states? The witnesses might not know this, but is somebody not technically in Ireland if they are getting off the plane and have not actually landed into the terminal building yet?

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Thomas Pringle: ...of people that result in collective punishment. I particularly support the motion's call to close Shannon Airport to the US military by banning US military and US military-contracted aircraft from landing at the airport.

Home Ownership: Motion [Private Members] (31 May 2023)

Thomas Pringle: ...it creates a sense of national hopelessness. In February the Construction Industry Federation, CIF, gave pre-legislative commentary on the problems being faced due to inflation and increased costs of building.

Thomas Pringle: Grand. On the 5% of bulk pelagic landings or 7.5% of fish quantity that is required to be weighed - I presume it is 5% of landings - if that 5% has been reached, is that the end of SFPA inspections? Does it weigh 10%, 20% or 30% of landings?
