- Seanad: Seanad Bill 2016: Second Stage (13 Jul 2016)
David Norris: I will end on this. If there are people with the same surname they are printed in gold characters. That also gives them an advantage. They are the ones that stand out so they should not be alphabetised. There should not be bigger print for people. It should be made as fair as possible so there should be a random allocation of positions on the ballot paper. It is an exciting debate. It...

- Seanad: Order of Business (12 Jul 2016)
David Norris: The Cathaoirleach is very kind and I do appreciate that. I have to laugh at Sinn Féin. Last week they were agonising about pensions from Great Britain, while this week they are talking about sectarianism. From a fairly blatantly sectarian organisation, that is quite rich.
- Seanad: Order of Business (12 Jul 2016)
David Norris: There is a problem regarding the supervision of bonfires. I do not give a damn about people's election literature being burned. Most of it is rubbish in any event. However, the bonfires were not supervised properly and a row of terraced houses on fire was set on fire as a result. I think that is much more serious. I support the calls for a debate on the Cassells report. Universities in...

- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2016)
David Norris: These days, there is very little in the way of real politics. It is all entertainment. We have people like Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage and this afternoon we were treated to an extraordinary concentration on the doings of local authorities and grass cutting. For a national parliament, it is obviously just naked electioneering. We have had the odd laugh out of this mongrel Government,...

- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2016)
David Norris: I beg his pardon. It is the conscience of Minister Ross. We have had this fabulous - and I use the word in its correct application - resonance with the War of Jenkins' Ear. It seems to me that it is avoiding the issue altogether, which is the repeal of the eighth amendment. The Attorney General is usually quite cautious and says things are unconstitutional and we have to take her word....
