Seanad: Order of Business (24 May 2012)

David Norris: I do not mind interruptions. On the question of students and free fees, "free fees" is an ugly dishonest phrase. It was dishonest on the part of the previous coalition with the Labour Party when it was introduced. There is no such thing. It is an oxymoron. Either education is free or one pays fees. I pointed that out years ago to students. I knew registration fees would go up. They...

David Norris: ...are crushed, the big crooks get away with it. That is part of our ethos. I am not inclined to blame Fianna Fáil or the coalition Government for this.

In tribute to his wisdom, I shall be happy to vote for the Labour Party motion.
