- Seanad: Gaming and Lotteries (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage (16 Apr 2019)
David Norris: At the outset, having read the information surrounding this legislation, I have to say that I was rather against it but I will not be calling for a vote. I will just see as the debate proceeds and as we get through Committee Stage and look at amendments and so on and so forth.

- Seanad: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Apr 2019)

David Norris: I find it quite extraordinary that a Minister would attempt to remove an assessment of the health and well-being of local residents. That is breathtaking. I do not suppose there is anybody from the media watching this debate. I wish there was. I wish they would put on the front page of the newspapers and in the radio columns that the Government, along with this Minister, aided and abetted...
