The firm has received two-thirds of what is due, but the remaining amount is still unpaid.
 
“It is on public record that there is money outstanding which is owed to my firm,” said Paul Allen, according the Irish Independent.
 
"It is up to Mr. Norris to explain exactly why it hasn't been paid; you'll need to talk to him."
 
Liam McCabe, who managed the Norris campaign, told the Irish Independent that he no longer was involved in the affair.
 
"I don't mean to be rude but my function is over, as the campaign is over."
 
Norris confirmed to the Independent that the issue was now in the hands of his legal representatives.
 
"Yes, there is an issue and the court records will reflect it. I'm sorry I have nothing else to say."
 
Norris’ campaign was riddled with controversy.  An early frontrunner, his campaign took a turn when an interview unearthed from the early 2000s featured Norris making controversial comments about pederasty.
