Norris says presidency ‘belongs to the people’

PRESIDENTIAL hopeful David Norris said “the will of the electorate” should prevail in his bid for a nomination to enter the race for the Áras.

The latest poll shows the independent senator is the people’s favourite for the presidency.

But he is yet to secure the backing of either 20 Oireachtas members or four local authorities required for independent candidates to have their name on the ballot paper.
