Caught on camera: Thomas Pringle quoting Coolio in the Dáil

The elected official stunned parliamentarians in yesterday’s chambers by extensively quoting lyrics from rapper Coolio’s pop hit Gangsta’s Paradise while calling out lobbying in politics. The Independent TD spoke in Leinster House yesterday where he supported a Sinn Fein bill seeking to amend the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015. Deputy Pringle believes the Act in its original form is an example of the government "paying lip service" to an important issue.
