- Seanad: Order of Business (11 Oct 2016)
David Norris: You are very caring, a Chathaoirligh. I am bored senseless by the budget. I think it is a complete and utter waste of time. It has been leaked for weeks.

David Norris: It is very relevant and the Leas-Chathaoirleach should take an interest in the broadcasting of this House.
