David Norris (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I have been here for 30 years and I have never heard them disparage this side of the House, disparage the Senate, look down on us or lecture us. I have not heard that at all. I have seen the best, most diverse, most individual and the most independent group of Taoiseach's nominees in the 30 years I have been in this House. I do not always agree with them. Indeed, I can disagree with them strongly on occasion but they have been absolutely magnificent.
