- Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Jun 2011)
David Norris: I congratulate the Leader, Senator Cummins, not on his election on which I already congratulated him, but on the manner in which he speedily addressed the efficiency of this House. He will have the support of all sides of the House in so doing. There was a slight delay, but it was not caused by the Leader of the House or any of his officials, rather it was caused by the Taoiseach in his...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Jun 2011)
David Norris: I am calling for a debate to be held on the matter. I bow to the Cathaoirleach's ruling. I should have put the question mark at the start of the sentence. As a grammarian, I am used to putting it at the end of a sentence. Can we have a debate that will also include information gleaned by all of us so painfully from the "Prime Time Investigates" report on carers? We saw clearly the tragic...

David Norris: On a point of order, it is important and in the kindest possible way to correct Senator Harte. Cicero was not an emperor. He occupied a much more exalted position. He was a member of the Senate as well as an orator and an historian.

He is a distinguished Member of the House and a well known solicitor in Bantry or somewhere in west County Cork. His legal knowledge and expertise have been made available to the House in a quiet and gentlemanly way. He was a member of the Joint Committee on the...

David Norris: I have already complimented the Independent group so I do not feel it necessary to do so again. They know my good wishes. I ask the Leader for a debate on the economy. I refer in particular to relations with our European neighbours. I welcome the fact that, in recent days, ambassadors were recalled to be briefed and sent out again to inform our European neighbours. This must be a two-way...
- Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jun 2011)
David Norris: A mechanism must be found so that Mr. Trichet, Mr. Lipsky and Mr. Ajay Chopra can be invited to attend in Dublin and a select group of Members, including some new ones such as Senator Sean Barrett and Deputy Peter Mathews in the other House, could question them on behalf of the Irish people. It seems we are being partially ruled by international financial institutions. The Irish people are...
- Seanad: Order of Business (7 Jun 2011)
David Norris: I support the call for a debate in light of these points. The committee was established of this House and I invite people to go back and read the proceedings of that committee. It was extinguished by political forces. Refugee status has been raised in this House. When a group is gravely concerned about the Government's lack of follow-up to the Ryan and other reports, it is a reproach to...
