Most back Norris in race for President - but will he be able to run?

Senator David Norris is ahead in the race for the Presidency, according to a new poll of public opinion.

However, Senator Norris has not yet received the required backing of four county councils. As an independent candidate, their support is one of only two routes he can take to contest the election. The other is to garner support from TDs and Senators in Leinster House.
