David Norris: On a point of order, I regret interrupting the Leader but I must ask Senator Ó Clochartaigh to clarify another matter. The Sinn Féin people do not attend Westminster. How can they possibly attend anything if they do not attend the Parliament? The Senator can twiddle that on his telephone.

That is a real tribute and it should be...
