Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Dec 2004)

David Norris: I support what Senator Brian Hayes said. It came as a surprise to me to hear there was this side deal. It is insulting to this House that it was done without reference to the House. Can the Cathaoirleach or the Leader indicate to the House whether they had prior knowledge of this wheeling and dealing with Seanad seats? It worries me particularly because I referred last week to the IRA demands...

Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2004: Second Stage. (9 Dec 2004)

David Norris: I thank Senator Quinn for sharing his time. He takes a serious view of the matter and has published an important article on it. I have heard him speak on the issue on many occasions and agree with much of what he says. It is easy for the Minister and the Minister for State to talk as they have drivers, but I speak as an ordinary motorist.

Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2004: Second Stage. (9 Dec 2004)

David Norris: It is just friendly banter. I am sure the Cathaoirleach will agree that in the Christmas spirit we are entitled to a little lightness. The Minister of State is right, I did get out of my car. Perhaps I was wrong. A woman behind me complained and I had to jump back into the car.

Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2004: Second Stage. (9 Dec 2004)

David Norris: I agree with much of what Senator Quinn and others said about changing behaviour. There has been a dramatic drop in penalty points pursuit, but when accident numbers increase this is described as a blip. Senator Quinn said it is more serious and that people do not take penalty points seriously. I do not agree. It is because nobody has the slightest respect for the speed limits. Why should...

Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2004: Second Stage. (9 Dec 2004)

David Norris: That is excellent. It is good to have something so that people with older cars can apply it so that they know what speed they are travelling in kilometres per hour. What a diplomat we have in the Minister of State, Deputy Callely. He says that the concept that decisions relating to the application of special speed limits should be taken by the major local authorities was introduced through...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Dec 2004)

David Norris: Does the Leader share my concern at the statement by Colin Powell that we should look beyond Iraq? It suggests to me that Mr. Powell, in a form of queasy hypocrisy which one has come to expect from the Goering of the Bush regime, wants us to overlook what has been happening in Baghdad, Falluja and Abu Ghraib. I would like the Leader to draw to the attention of the Minister for Foreign Affairs...

Seanad: Order of Business. (9 Dec 2004)

David Norris: Shame on you for smiling. You are very good on humiliation of other people but you do not seem to care very much about the humiliation of these unfortunate Iraqis.
