David Norris: I will refer to a small grammatical point in amendment No 3, which states, "after “disadvantaged,” to insert “persons to whom the Equal Status Acts 2000 to 2018 apply to,"." The second "to" is inelegant. One should not end with a preposition anyway.

David Norris: ..., with regard to screening for genetic disorders in children. There has been a report from the national screening advisory committee but, unfortunately, it still leaves responsibility for applying for new conditions to be included with the public and patient organisations.

We did call the Workplace Relations Commission but their advice was simply that they could not advise us unless we took a case, which we could only take after a. adopting a child, b. applying for adoptive leave, and c. being turned down (at which point one of us would have had to quit their jobs to care for the child). It will be really difficult to go into a situation...

David Norris: ...the position in America, for example, as anybody born in America is automatically an American citizen. The third matter I want to raise concerns the qualification of an unbroken year's residence when applying for naturalisation. This can create problems. One person wrote to me and pointed out that his job involves travelling abroad to represent the company by which he is employed. The...

Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2019)

David Norris: This seems to be a perfectly reasonable amendment. Good standards of communication should include letting people who have applied for a job know whether they have been selected, rather than leaving them in limbo. I have no difficulty whatsoever in supporting the amendment. How is that for brevity?

Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (25 Jun 2019)

David Norris: Absolutely. I think I heard Senator McDowell say that the Equality Act will not apply to this legislation. I note the Senator is nodding. How can that be? Perhaps the Minister will indicate if there is a section in this Bill which excludes it from the operation of the Equality Act because I would think that quite extraordinary. Maybe, it does. I must have overlooked it. Perhaps there...

Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Apr 2019)

David Norris: ...whose name was not published, had behaved disgracefully in the meantime and so was banned from being considered. I also think it would be daft. If somebody has gone through the whole rigmarole of applying, preparing statements, making submissions etc., why should he or she be expected to repeat exactly the same material? As it all seems to be redundant, I strongly support Senator...
