Norris wasted as a powerless first citizen

ON the Late Late Show on Friday last, Senator David Norris was interviewed in relation to being a potential candidate for the presidency at the next election.

I believe a man of his calibre and standing, if elected, would resign as a result of frustration with the limitations of the office.

The office of president is a non-executive position and, as such, in an economic situation where there are thousands upon thousands of angry people without jobs and many unable to service their mortgages because of the greed of bankers and developers, plus a Government that facilitated this situation, David Norris would feel powerless to help.
