this is a feature of Ireland having an excruciatingly centralised system of government. Not only is there effectively zero power in local authorities, but central government is concentrated in the executive. Let's face it, the Dáil just guillotines whatever MM says it should #speirgorm #aras25

despite incessant bleating of pol scientists that 'the President can't do that', it seems that the electorate do prefer candidates who are willing to push the boundaries of the role, just a little bit. Higgins, frankly, had the govt scared every time he spoke #aras25 #speirgorm

Two things strike me over the last 30 years of #aras25 races: a) we are consistently electing lefty/progressive presidents while sticking with conservative governments. #speirgorm

Stock images used in DCC presentation planning PR campaigns to promote active travel and use of cycle lane (left), vs images of actual cycle infrastructure in the city. "Only 36% of respondents felt safe cycling in Dublin City". Hmmm.

We are pretty unusal afaik to have the combination of a largely ceremonial yet directly-elected President. Add in the usual 7+7 year terms, and you get a constitutional monarchy in all but name. The entire election campaign has become a discourse entirely centred character

It would have been facile for some continental princeling to be installed as the 'old man in the Park', do the needful, sign whatever was put in front of him and otherwise not embarrass the government of the day.

Think how things might have been different - no effort has been made to remove the trappings of the British Empire from Dublin Castle. It has been meticulously restored. No one thought to raze the place to the ground given all it represents, and everything that happened therein #speirgorm #aras25

I don't think it's controversial to suggest that the way that Ireland has developed a particular culture around the Presidency doesn't exactly look particularly republican. We would have handled a constitutional monarchy just fine #aras25 #speirgorm
