The Phoenix Magazine claims the Connolly/Éirigí story was conveniently leaked just before the Indo was going to lead with the Gavin rental scandal. Interesting. #Áras25 #aras25

So much Fianna Fáil carnage upon which to catch up after the day. Which should I go for first? Micheál Martin's interview or Eamon O'Cuiv's?

This should be of major concern to all of us and the rest of the media needs to ask questions about how this information made its way to Niall O'Connor and @thejournal.ie.

Simon McGarr @tupped.bsky.social · 6d

Leave aside the Connolly campaign. Consider all the people who go through garda vetting. That is a significant bloc of the population- volunteer parents helping kids in sports, at scouts, in charities.

Will that police data leak if the Gardaí want to intervene in a political campaign in the future?

Do you think Catherine Connolly would take time out of campaigning to play for us against Portugal on Saturday? She seems like she could do a job in midfield.

The mind absolutely boggles that she could say what she did…need to keep her as far away from the Aras as possible… #Aras25

The GRA was passed in 2015 with very little fanfare following years of courageous campaigning by trans people. We have yet to see any negative ramifications in society - and we won't.

We simply *cannot* have a President of Ireland who speaks about trans women or their human rights in this way.

I'm not linking to the article but Heather Humphries thinks the Gender recognition act needs to be looked at, and trans women are not women. #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

So a former government minister, who was in the government when a bill passed, is now disavowing that bill? That's a problem.
That's it's people rights & existence she is throwing under the bus makes it sickening

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

Brilliantly, @iamreddave.bsky.social points out that the law doesn’t allow for withdrawal of a presidential candidate after nominations have closed.

Section 30(1), Presidential Elections Act, 1993

www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1993/act...

al 30.-(1) A person in respect of whom a nomination paper has been delivered to the
ire. presidential returning officer pursuant to section 14 may withdraw his candidature at any time before the completion of the ruling on nominations but not thereafter.
