David Norris: I join with colleagues who have called for a debate on Aer Lingus. It seems quite extraordinary that a Government that promised us this would lead to competition has led us down an alley into which we will have a virtual monopoly. In addition, I understand that there are substantial funds â possibly in excess of â¬1 billion in cash â in Aer Lingus. Therefore, it is a really sweet deal...
- Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (11 Oct 2006)
David Norris: I support the call for a debate on that matter. I am concerned about the question of SSIAs. I agree with my colleagues, Senator Brian Hayes and Senator O'Toole, who have called for the Minister for Education and Science to attend the House.

David Norris: I support what my colleague, Senator Ryan, said about the situation in Iraq. It was the type of thing I said last night during the debate on whether we should transmit information to the United States Government. People talked about democracy but since Mr. Bush's election, "democracy" is a word which makes me want to puke every time I hear it. We talked about democracy in the European...

David Norris: I beg your pardon, a Chathaoirligh, it most definitely is and you know that and are just being roguish.
