- Seanad: Order of Business (9 Oct 2014)
David Norris: She learned about it and sent a note to sabotage it, as chairman of MEAS. I hope the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy White, has the guts to reject her.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Humanitarian Impact of Conflict in Syria: Concern (8 Oct 2014)
David Norris: I welcome the delegation from Concern. I am a long-time admirer and supporter of the work it does. I note the indication on page 2 of the presentation that the 2014 appeal was only 46% funded. Can the countries which make up the other 54% be named and shamed? Can it be made public that their leaders have gone in front of the television cameras, as they do in every crisis, promising to...
