David Norris has announced that he's decided to join the race again, after withdrawing a few weeks ago in the midst of controversy over his support for his boyfriend at the time, who had been in grouble with the law in Israel over sex with an underage Palestinian boy. What remains to be seen now is whether or not Norris will get enough nominations to make the ticket.
And then, trumping Norris's big announcement, Sinn Féin decided to put forward Martin McGuinness as their candidate.
A gay man or an ex-IRA chief of staff for president? Much more exciting than Gay Mitchell, Michael D Higgins, or even Dana! The next few weeks will be very entertaining!
