David Norris (Independent)

I am a little surprised that this speaking slot has come so soon. I am glad I came to the Chamber because this is a good opportunity to contribute to the debate. I had arranged to share half of the time allotted in this debate to my colleague, Senator O'Toole, who is not here. Can I propose that the Senator be allowed to share time with me if he materialises and wants to take half of my time?
