Seanad: Order of Business. (12 May 2005)

David Norris: I concur with Senator Kitt. I raised this matter several times and I mentioned that particular gentleman last week. He has been given permission for further hostel developments even though he placed lives in danger and was served with a fire notice, which he ignored by appealing it. I also support what Senator Brian Hayes stated on the attacks on the Jewish community. I have been critical of...

Seanad: Order of Business. (12 May 2005)

David Norris: I ask for a discussion on the situation in Iraq, especially in light of further developments today when more people were killed in another suicide bombing and the American Senate committee is peddling the same weary old lies about Mr. George Galloway that were exploded in a British court, using the same old forged documents. The committee seems to be absolutely impotent in confronting the...

Seanad: Sustainable Rural Housing Guidelines: Statements (Resumed). (12 May 2005)

David Norris: I am sorry that the debate must be brief, but I understand the Minister is under pressure. Some aspects of these guidelines are welcome, for example, the drawing of a distinction between urban and rural housing. The development needs of rural areas are based on the desire to sustain rural communities, which I understand completely. I also understand the desire to have one's family close by...

Chromium and heavy metals, which are fairly virulent...

Seanad: Order of Business. (18 May 2005)

David Norris: I again ask for a debate on Iraq. New material emerges all the time. As I predicted, the Senate committee in America came up against the shattering force of the truth as told in a blistering fashion by George Galloway and it produced the usual weary old tired, forged documents. It could not even get the date sequence right. It was an astonishing performance but it clearly vindicated Mr....
