O'Sullivan still standing by Norris

One of the politicians supporting David Norris' bid for the presidency has said he has been the target of a nasty campaign.

Independent TD Maureen O'Sullivan has said Senator Norris still has her support, despite revealations about a letter he wrote to an Israeli court in 1997, seeking clemency for his former partner, who had been convicted of having sex with a 15-year-old boy.
