- Seanad: Diabetes Treatment and Management: Motion. (27 Oct 2010)
David Norris: I welcome the opportunity to take part in this debate. I regard myself as very lucky to do so because it had not been on the programme that we would be meeting at this time. When it was rearranged I had several other engagements, all of which I have just managed to fulfil. I have just come hotfoot from Trinity where I was introducing a very important Italian film regarding that country's...
- Seanad: Order of Business (28 Oct 2010)
David Norris: I welcome the debate we will have and the questioning of the Minister, Deputy Harney, but I respectfully disagree with my colleague in Fine Gael.

David Norris: I welcome the Minister of State. Members on all sides have called for a debate such as this, but it was unusual to receive such a rapid and practical response. I am very grateful to the Government for providing us with this opportunity. Each of us shares a natural revulsion at the abuse of children, whether it is physical, emotional or sexual.
