David Norris: I thank the Leader.
- Seanad: Order of Business (18 Oct 2012)
David Norris: I appreciate the Leader's position and the Minister's.
- Seanad: Social Protection: Statements (18 Oct 2012)
David Norris: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Perry. I am sure he will transmit the gist of what is said here to the Minister for Social Protection, who has regrettably had to leave. The Minister, Deputy Burton, is a decent and courageous person. I do not envy her as she faces such a mammoth task. As I am nearly 70, I have lived through a couple of economic crises, but this is the worst one I...
- Seanad: Social Protection: Statements (18 Oct 2012)
David Norris: I said I was dizzy. I beg the Senator's pardon. I thank her for correcting me. It was just a glitch, the rhetorical equivalent of a typo. As I know her well and respect her work, it was completely inadvertent. It is important that we do this because so many times we are told a particular policy cannot be implemented because there is not a means test in the particular Department. I have...
- Seanad: Social Protection: Statements (18 Oct 2012)

We have...

- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Sugar Beet Industry (18 Oct 2012)
David Norris: We need to look at this. As my colleagues know, I have often raised circumstances in which inappropriate agency staff were used, people who did not even speak English, who did not know anything about drug regimes, who were sometimes drunk. I have a direct and very specific question. Motion 9, proposed by two Independent colleagues and myself, condemns sexual violence in conflict, affirms...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Sugar Beet Industry (18 Oct 2012)
David Norris: Will the Leader consider bringing this proposal before the House? I would be very happy if it were to become a Government motion. I have no amour propre concerning the ownership of the motion. It would be very well-timed, would be good for our reputation internationally and would commit us to the cause of ending sexual violence against women.
