David Norris: That was a very uncharacteristic remark from Senator Tom Sheahan who is a gentleman. I am glad he withdrew it immediately. I am delighted that colleagues on both sides of the House referred to the leaking of a particular document to the finance committee of the German Bundestag. What has happened in disgraceful. People in this country are obviously of the view that this is a matter of...

David Norris: I thank the Cathaoirleach. However, this is still a matter of national importance.
- Seanad: Order of Business (1 Mar 2012)
David Norris: I have made it clear that I am not criticising the Cathaoirleach, particularly as he always operates in an extremely fair way and within the rules of the House. I am not impugning his reputation, I am merely stating the rules of the Seanad are completely farcical and nonsensical.

David Norris: The political correspondent of The Sun on Sunday, if I may use that term of the Taoiseach of this country, Deputy Enda Kenny, signed an instrument which contained a blackmail clause. He did not have to do it. He had the option of using the Irish veto, but we are now tied into it. If and when the instrument is signed we are consigned into a situation where goals of financial austerity are...
