Seanad: State Airports Bill 2004: Second Stage. (13 Jul 2004)

David Norris: I am grateful to my colleague, Senator Quinn, for allowing me to share his time. I listened to him with great interest because he is one of the most successful business people in this State.

Seanad: State Airports Bill 2004: Second Stage. (13 Jul 2004)

David Norris: The Government obviously believes it needs that type of solidarity behind it. That is fair enough; it is a political decision.

Seanad: Order of Business. (13 Jul 2004)

David Norris: I support what Senator Brian Hayes said on the North of Ireland. What happened was lamentable when there has been a reasonably quiet period over the marching season. As someone who has been critical of Sinn Féin and the IRA, I was very impressed by the way people like Gerry Kelly dealt with the crowd and pleaded with them not to engage in aggressive behaviour. Similar activities occurred on...
