Alice-Mary Higgins (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Cathaoirleach. I am delighted to rise on behalf of all my colleagues in the Civil Engagement group to pay tribute to our colleague and friend, Senator David Norris. There has been some discussion of his extraordinary achievements, such as his landmark case on the decriminalisation of homosexuality. Something I think is really important was his battle to establish the Oireachtas foreign affairs committee, to make sure there was a strong Oireachtas voice in the world.
