- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Situation in Gaza - Middle East Peace Process: Palestinian and Israeli Ambassadors (3 Sep 2014)
David Norris: I welcome the ambassador. I would like to ask about diplomatic initiatives, particularly the Euro-Med agreement covering trade between Israel and EU. Human rights protocols are attached to that agreement. I have consistently called for them to be monitored but they have not been; nobody is even watching them. What steps is the state of Palestine taking to ensure the EU monitors these...

- Seanad: Situation in Gaza and Ukraine: Statements (31 Jul 2014)
David Norris: There is no point in having any kind of an alleged truce when it only has one side. It was laughable the rubbish produced by the Israelis, Americans and the Egyptians. They did not consult Hamas, which is madness. Tony Blair was involved. My God, that man is shameless.
- Seanad: Situation in Gaza and Ukraine: Statements (31 Jul 2014)
David Norris: He should keep his face out of the Middle East after what he and George W. Bush have done to the region. On the other side, three moth-balled schools were used to store weapons. That was discovered by the UN and reported by it, not by the Israelis. Entire families have been obliterated and in one case, 20 members of the same family were slaughtered. Also, a disproportionate amount of women...
- Seanad: Situation in Gaza and Ukraine: Statements (31 Jul 2014)
David Norris: Israeli goods, particularly those from the settlements, should be boycotted and there should be an expulsion of the Israeli ambassador. I delayed in saying this, but he always has his fingers in his ears and just repeats slogans from Jerusalem. I have received a considerable volume of correspondence, 90% of it in support of the Israeli side. I respect all of my correspondents but...

David Norris: I would like to express my gratitude to the Cathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann, to the Minister who, as a Laois man, I congratulate on his appointment, and to Senator Averil Power for marshalling the forces on this side to respond to my request for a recall of Seanad Éireann. People ask: "What for? What can Seanad Éireann do?" The answer in the international context is...

- Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) (No. 4) Bill 2014: Second Stage (17 Jul 2014)
David Norris: I do not support the Bill. I do not believe there is a huge variety of talent among the public that is equipped for this task. I remember that when I was elected to the House a number of years ago, there was a very distinguished Clerk of the Seanad, Mr. Kieran Coughlan, who went on to become Clerk of the Dáil. He played a very significant role in a quiet way. However, the tradition,...
