David Norris: I would like to ask about something that arises from what Senator Craughwell said. He spoke about being in a newly built house. Why are houses being built in this area in the first place? It is madness. How are people getting planning permission to build them? It is a complete nonsense. In this country we seem to be building houses on floodplains, in places where there is airport noise...

David Norris: Second, that letter from the council states: "Further, Fingal Council does not have the requisite competencies available within the Council in areas of aviation operations, noise, including contour mapping, and economic feasibility assessments for the purpose of determining the cost-effectiveness" and so on. First, it is not independent and, second, it does not have the capacity or the...

David Norris: On Brexit, I am increasingly tired of listening to people like Mr. Jacob Rees-Mogg, MP, talk about the 17 million people who voted to leave. What about the 16.3 million who voted to remain? Have they no rights whatsoever? I also point out that the United Kingdom has a population of 67 million; therefore, the figure of 17 million is not as impressive as it sounds. Furthermore, it is being...

- Seanad: Sea-Fisheries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (26 Mar 2019)
David Norris: I hope the Cathaoirleach will accept that, since virtually all of the amendments have been grouped together, we must be given some latitude to wander around a little.

- Seanad: Sea-Fisheries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (26 Mar 2019)
David Norris: I am speaking to amendment No. 4 in my name. Returning to Article 8, section 2 of the London Fisheries Convention, Northern Ireland and UK boats cannot claim a right to fish inside the nought to six nautical mile zone under Articles 3 and 4. These articles simply do not provide for anyone to claim such rights. They deal only with rights in the six to 12-mile belt. Therefore, if the Bill...
