David Norris: I am challenging Senator Reilly to say from where they came. What are they? I can scarcely believe - in fact, I cannot believe - 40 dB is like whispering or that 60 dB is the average noise level in an office. I do not know what office the Senator inhabits, but it must be absolute bedlam if there is a constant noise level of 60 dB. I just do not understand it. I would genuinely like to...

- Seanad: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Apr 2019)
David Norris: The Minister quotes from an EU directive which is outside his remit and to which, as far as I know, he made no contribution whatever. This EU directive suggests that there should be consideration of health, which the Minister is removing from the Bill. These are the very aspects that he is removing from it. I do not regard Fingal County Council as an appropriate regulatory authority at...

David Norris: The Minister is attempting to attract virtue to himself for transposing the EU directive, but as I understand it, he has to transpose the directive. It is part of the whole EU system that when directives are issued, they have to be transposed into domestic law. I do not award him any great virtue over that. The Minister cited a section dealing with cost-effectiveness. That is the...
