Norris secures Fingal presidential nod

SENATOR David Norris has secured the nomination of Fingal County Council in his bid become the country’s next president.

He must now secure nominations from three more local authorities in order to be eligible to run for president. He addressed Meath County Council yesterday and is due to address Wexford and Carlow County Council next month.

“I am delighted to have received the support of Fingal County Council,” he said. “Their support means that I am a quarter of the way to securing a nomination to run for the presidency of Ireland. Democracy is all about giving people choices and I believe that Fingal County Council have done just that.”
