Higgins denies any involvement in Norris revelations

LABOUR presidential candidate Michael D Higgins has denied that any of the weekend revelations regarding David Norris and his former partner were leaked by his campaign or anyone associated with him.

The presidential campaigner refused to comment on the substance of the new information regarding Senator Norris but said it was “a very difficult time” for the Norris campaign.

Speaking in Waterford city where he attended the annual Spraoi parade and met with members of the public, Mr Higgins said he knew nothing about the latest problems to hit the Norris presidency bid.
