We are delighted to announce the news that Senator David Norris, human rights campaigner, Joycean scholar and broadcaster, has agreed to become the Honorary Patron of the Napoleon Society of Ireland.

The NSI is a project supported by Finte O’Broin and Clan O’Byrne of Leinster and the news that Senator Norris has accepted this position has been greeted with great excitement and enthusiasm by all concerned.

The Napoleon Society of Ireland is confident that with Senator Norris on board they can prepare to host the International Napoleonic Congress in Dublin in 2016 with confidence.

Derek Byrne, President of Finte O’Broin and The Napoleonic Society of Ireland is said to be absolutely thrilled with the news. A long time friend and supporter of the Senator, Derek believes that David is the best possible choice for the job and will bring energy and gusto to the newly formed organisation.
