David Norris: I fear that with regard to the gentleman, and I use that phrase in its widest possible application, in the other House, we are giving him exactly what he wants â the oxygen of publicity â if this is reported.

David Norris: I support Senator O'Toole's concerns on bribery. It appears extraordinary that just one side of the equation is prosecuted. For a bribe to be effective, someone must make it. The initiation of the criminal act comes from someone other than the person who receives the bribe and he or she must be taken into account. This leads me to comment on Senator Terry's remark. She called for a debate,...
