“Yesterday, on Dublin’s O’Connell Bridge, Senator David Norris gave his support to this campaign for Animal Rights Action Network to encourage people to scratch animals off their shopping list this Christmas. Instead people could adopt a rescue animal and give them a second chance in life. This is a video I made of this really positive event which will move people to think before they buy a pet this Christmas.”

My office has been contacted in recent days by sections of the press making inquiries concerning my state of health and general medical condition. The following statement will I hope provide an adequate response.

“I am currently undergoing medical management for a serious cancer condition. I am extremely grateful for the superb treatment I have received from the team of consultants at St. Vincent’s Private Hospital as well as the nursing and general hospital staff.

The cancer appears to be related to the initial incidence of viral hepatitis which I contracted from tainted drinking water while I was on unpaid Government business in Eastern Europe in 1994.

I have no difficulty in making this information public in response to press queries because I believe that there should be no stigma attaching to cancer as a disease. I continue to enjoy life and am looking forward to returning to my duties in Seanad Eireann over the next few days.
