Norris Aras bid in turmoil as campaign members quit

Saturday July 30 2011
INDEPENDENT Senator David Norris's presidential bid was in crisis today as more campaign members quit over new information about his controversial views on paedophilia and sexuality.
Dr Elaine Byrne of Trinity College claimed on RTE radio that the resignations related to letters sent on Seanad headed paper pleading for clemency for Mr Norris' former partner Ezra Yihzak Nawi who was convicted of having underage sex with a Palestinian boy in 1992.
Mr Norris' director of elections Derek Murphy and his director of communications Jane Cregan resigned from the campaign team. "I am no longer working for the David Norris for President campaign," a message on her phone stated.
Mr Norris's director of elections, Liam McCabe, did not respond to repeated calls.
Today journalist Una Mullally tweeted that she was no longer working for the campaign in light of new information, and the campaign's youth co-ordinator Orlaith Foley tweeted that she had also resigned from the Norris campaign.
The senator also refused to answer questions at his home on North Great George's Street in Dublin's city centre.
He exited the house and went into the house next door, passing reporters and refusing to comment.
In more recent years Mr Nawi has clashed with the Israeli authorities for his political activities on behalf of Palestinians.
The former lovers have stayed close friends and continue to meet regularly and are in frequent contact.
According to reports today Mr Nawi said he wanted to speak to Mr Norris about the matter before speaking to the media.
In the notes to his one-man show, Do You Hear What I’m Seeing? , in Clontarf Castle in 2007 Mr Norris referred to the work Mr Nawi was doing for human rights in Palestine and said he was very proud of his former partner.
So far, 15 Oireachtas members have said they will sign Senator Norris's nomination papers for the October election. He needs five more to ensure his place in the race. http://www.independent.ie/todays-paper/norris-aras-bid-in-turmoil-as-campaign-members-quit-2835924.html
