David Norris Letter
During campaigning ahead of the 2011 Irish presidential election, Senator David Norris's past, like those of the other six candidates, came under scrutiny. The Irish Times reported that it had seen a letter in which Norris had politely responded to Horan thanking him for his pamphlet on “various Messianic prophecies”. Norris admitted in the letter, “To be honest I haven’t really read it in detail yet”, but said that he would put his “feet up and read it with great interest” when he returned from a trip to Berlin. He added, “I will then pass it on to my aunt who is just 100 and has always taken a keen interest in this kind of material.”
