- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Sep 2017)
David Norris: I will. I join my colleagues in complimenting the Office of Public Works on the refurbishment of this Chamber, in particular the majolica decorative panels around the door cases. I visited this place before it was refurbished and it was in a very sorry state. However, I do not quite share the ecstasies of my colleagues about the beauty of this place. It seems to me that it is a frigid...

- Seanad: Order of Business (12 Jul 2017)
David Norris: I join colleagues in deploring the throwing of a coffin bearing the image of the late Martin McGuinness onto a bonfire in the North of Ireland last night. I find it very sad that anyone should rejoice in the death of another human being. I also think these bonfires are out of control. I have seen photographs of some of them and they were enormous. One of them was located next to a petrol...

David Norris: The initial process and series of transactions involved in the Corrib gas field were a disgrace to this country.

- Seanad: Equality of Access to Education: Motion (12 Jul 2017)
David Norris: I appreciate the Acting Chairman's generosity. I welcome the Minister of State to the House and I welcome the representatives of the education sector. The amendment by Fine Gael, where it says that it affirms the commitment to equity in education, is a lot of blather. If it did, it would come out and say that it was in favour of free education. The whole phrase "free fees" is an oxymoron....
