David Norris: I still believe it is perfectly legitimate for me to say, as Senator Ivana Bacik said before, without interruption, that it is regrettable that we did not have access to the GRECO report before this debate and before the vote. It might have changed things slightly if we had access. I support to thrust of amendment No. 3 in the name of Senator Ruane. I agree with her that there should be...

The very fact that a candidate has a professional engagement with the area in...
