David Norris: I congratulate both speakers, Ms Ní Chasaide and Ms O'Neill, on one of the best presentations I have heard over a number of years. It was full of facts - the meat of the issue. The figures are incredible. I do not mean that I do not believe them, but that they are beyond imagination and very worrying. I have no idea what €4.8 trillion means. It is just beyond comprehension....

David Norris: It is a sad privilege for me to pay tribute on behalf of the Independents to the late Jimmy Mulroy.

She was a remarkable, courageous and dignified...

David Norris: None of us is happy, but it is a question of honour, decency and standards. We have had scandal after scandal involving the church, the banks and corrupt politicians, including people in this House, and now we have this issue with the Garda. That is a situation which must be addressed. We were told this Government has come in to reform. Where is the reform? The arrogance of the Minister,...
