David Norris: I have been listening to reports from Davos. I have checked with several of my colleagues and none of them seems to have heard of any major discussions on climate change.

It seems astonishing that the first and most important matter is Brexit, as far as...

David Norris: I thank the Senator. They are also arriving in private jets and private aeroplanes. There is a huge amount of hypocrisy and it is about time that world leaders woke up.

David Norris: I support Senator Boyhan in his remarks about the Bethany Home. Many years ago the Anglican Archbishop spoke out clearly on the matter and asked for it to be taken into account. It is nothing other than religious discrimination that this has not happened. The issue would have been forgotten only for the great work done by Derek Leinster.

However,...
