David Norris (Independent)

I commend my distinguished colleague on the Government benches on his brilliant rendition of the explanatory memorandum of the Bill. I hope he is a member of Irish Actors Equity because it was a superb performance. Senator Hanafin knew just where to draw the line. He did not treat us to the table of the existing thresholds. I thought for one wonderful moment he might but he did not luxuriate in that indulgence, and for that much I say: "Thanks."
