- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Dec 2022)
David Norris: I thank the Cathaoirleach. I greatly appreciate his kind words. I was not at yesterday's proceedings because I am in five vulnerable categories with regard to Covid-19, so I am afraid of crowds. The first issue, of two, which I want to raise is that of Qatar. It is in the news now because of the football being played there, a tournament which the country secured by bribery. There is no...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Nov 2022)
David Norris: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach and it is very nice to be back here in Seanad Éireann. I think sometimes we forget how privileged we are to live in this wonderful country of Ireland, which is liberal, tolerant, decent and respect the rights of people. It is a real privilege to be here.

- Seanad: Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage (6 Jul 2022)
David Norris: This 142-page Bill has serious implications for Ireland because it will make Ireland a country that will not tolerate even one autonomous university. This is about autonomy. Trinity College Dublin, TCD, in particular, has a very distinguished historical background, as, of course, has Maynooth University, which was founded in the days before Catholic Emancipation. The Bill is a power grab...

David Norris: The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment’s annual budget is just short of €900 million. IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland firms employ some 475,000 people. The agencies do not appoint people to the boards of the enterprises they finance. The reward to Irish society is the employment they create, rather than seats on these companies' boards. Should the reward to...
