McGrath, Halligan and Pringle all withdraw support for Norris

The Independent TD Finian McGrath has withdrawn his support for Senator David Norris in the campaign for the Presidency, and has called on him to bow out of the race.

Just five of the Senator's 15 Oireachtas supporters have said they're still behind him, after news broke that he wrote a letter to Israeli authorities in 1997 pleading for clemency for his former partner who was convicted of statutory rape.
