David Norris: It was reported on the radio yesterday that a judge, in sentencing a man for downloading images, said he would be particularly harsh because he had strong feelings in this area.

They should implement the law of the land. I remember a...

This is understandable in the short term but may be negative in...

David Norris: I support the call for a debate on Northern Ireland. However, as my colleague, Senator O'Toole has suggested, it is not possible to second-guess the electorate.
