David Norris: I am grateful to the Cathaoirleach for the five-minute sos because it allowed me to pick up the statement on affordable homes. I understand why the head of the Affordable Homes Partnership would object to the suggestion about brown envelopes. I do not know who made the suggestion but it certainly was not me. However, the head has missed the point because we were talking about the fact that...

David Norris: We debated the matter last night but there was a related point I could not raise because it concerned the Department of Health and Children. Could we have a debate on health?

David Norris: Senator Cox has done an honour to this House by her courageous and clear speech. It is not easy to offer a direct and open critique of Government policy from the Government benches but this is what Seanad Ãireann is all about.
