David Norris: I recognise the presence in the Visitors Gallery of my old friends David Parris and Gerard Scully. I have known them for well over 30 years and recognise their extraordinary courage in taking this action. When I took several constitutional actions, all the costs were paid, mine and those of the then Government, even when I lost. However, Dr. Parris has been forced to pay €50,000 out...

David Norris: I had not intended to contribute this morning. I did hear the news item about the women who were killed and injured in Clondalkin, but there was an added horror when Senator Clifford-Lee indicated that it was a women's refuge.

David Norris: This is a quite extraordinary thing. He went on to talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger hosting a TV show. The man obviously suffers from what the late Provost Mahaffy called verbal diarrhoea accompanied by mental constipation, but spreading the idea of fake news is extraordinarily dangerous.Alternative facts are just lies.
