David Norris (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I believe I have made the point. The treatment of these low-paid workers is an outrage.

I also draw the attention of the House to the fact that this morning we had the instigation of a group for staff and Members of the Oireachtas who are gay.I think this is quite historic. I went along and was very glad to see quite a large number of people. They will present a rainbow flag to the Ceann Comhairle, under whose auspices this meeting took place, to be flown on Saturday over Leinster House. It is a great day for diversity in Ireland and I congratulate all involved, especially the Leader of the House, Senator Jerry Buttimer.
