Biography

Pringle is an independent TD who has been representing Donegal since first elected to the Dáil in 2011. He was a county councillor from 1999 to 2011 and previously worked in the Water Services on Donegal County Council.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

As an independent, it's very important to provide a role to the public. Being an Independent politician is the best way to be held directly accountable to the people, rather than a party.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

To ensure Donegal has an equal share of what's needed compared to the rest of the country.

What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

I would like to see a progressive government of independent candidates and small parties, and for Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to come to the same side.
