Have been sent the clip of Bernese Mountain Dog owners sending off Michael D twice by heart-melted people outside of Ireland.

What a country.
President Michael D. Higgins and his wife Sabina are preparing to leave Áras an Uachtaráin for the final time this evening as his term comes to an end.

Catherine Connolly will be inaugurated tomorrow as Ireland’s next president.

"You may not know this, but there exists, among certain cohorts of the public, a perception that Ireland’s political establishment and media establishment are too intimately connected. And what on Earth would give them that idea?"

My column in this week's The Mayo News about the aftermath of #Áras25. Fake nomination attempts, smears, spoiled votes, the media - and FF and FG's all too predictable lurch to the right after making a hames of it all.

Just catching up on this.
I am UNABLE 🤣 So he fucked both FG and FF?

(but remind me again how FG and FF are different separate parties)

Seriously when will the pundits move on-the story, the real story, of the election is Catherine Connolly’s amazing win-followed by the story of FFG implosion and a distant third are the spoilt votes-and of no interest to the story is the failure of far right candidates to get nominations #speirgorm

It's fun, but also weird, to look through the replies to news reports about the Irish presidential election & find them filled with bald bearded Americans, Germans and Australians saying things like "RIP Ireland" & "Never thought Eire would go Commie". Catherine Connolly has upset them quite a lot.

And @news.rte.ie @irishtimes.com and @independent.ie have fallen for it - hook, line and sinker.

It was opportunity and deliberate. They saw a chance late on, didn’t actually want to get on the ballot, just to look disenfranchised.

Waking up at silly-o’clock and feeling hopeful and looking forward to welcoming our Uachtarán na hÉireann home to Galway this evening with Macnas…

Feeling a biteen sad as well - the last presidential celebration I was at was Michael D’s second election…

Delighted it’s a Galway swap though…😁🫶🏻

Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in history - any pol corr or commentator trying to convince you that the story is actually the spoiled votes is showing you their whole arse, and should be treated accordingly.

Proud to have yet another Irish president who is an ally for queers, the Palestinian people, women and the downtrodden and an advocate for peace, and looking forward to the day when we finally have a government to match.
Well done Ireland - you voted for better.

Heather Humphreys seems almost happy to have lost. She has also been wonderfully gracious in defeat, and in these times, her emphasising that Catherine Connolly will be her President too was actually a very important thing to do #Áras25

So if the spoiled vote is between 12-13% and with the right wing / St Maria of the holy handbag crowd claiming this vote - Catherine Connolly still wins the election with a commanding win, on or over 60% #speirgorm #aras25

In fairness Heather Humphreys gave a gracious concession speech, congratulating Catherine Connolly, and wishing her well as President. In a democracy the losing side accepting the outcome is vital. #aras25

It's great that the Left combined for this election and of course kudos to the Soc Dems/Shinners/PBP but just to say Catherine Connolly put herself forward for this, as in Independent, long before she had that support - we shouldn't forget that. It was a brave thing to do. #aras25

An absolutely *brilliant* day for Ireland.

Now the left needs to show it can, despite differences, work together to provide a numerically viable alternative to FF-FG business-as-usual at the next Dáil election.

It could not be more needed, by people, nature, + climate.
