Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Cathaoirleach for providing us with the opportunity to pay tribute to Senator Norris. I had the idea this morning at which point it was a question of telephoning the Senator's secretary to have him jump into a taxi to get here. There was no point in praising him if he was not here. He arrived on time. Senator Brian Hayes added his own tribute and that of his party to Senator Norris on this very special occasion.

He made a tongue in cheek remark on the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation.
