It's Christmas, so we decided to have a chat with a big fella with a white beard, Independent TD for Donegal, Thomas Pringle. We looked at the unparliamentary language, the year in politics, his work in both Donegal and on international issues, as well as why he is speaking up on the weaponisation of "culture war" issues. 

We discuss immigration as a wedge issue and why it suits the current government and we ask him if he thinks a Sinn Féin led government will implement the change so many voters are looking for?
