RTÉ had better up their subtitling game. Cos if you only show the English bits, you're only giving us half the story... (Agus tá droch chaoi a ndóthain ar an scéal mar atá gan Gaeilge Chatherine a chur sa mullach oraibh) #Áras25

25% of the electorate voted for Catherine Connolly (0.9 million people) 55% of the votes cast were for Catherine Connolly - when talking account of all the ways in which suffrage was exercised. A majority! The figure that gets recorded is 63% - of the valid poll. #Áras25

“My message is use your voice in every way you can, because a republic and a democracy needs constructive questioning, and together we can shape a new republic that values everybody.” - President-Elect Catherine Connolly.

First few official results now coming in for #aras25: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Catherine Connolly: "I want to thank everybody, even those that didn't vote for me. "I understand their concerns in relation to who will represent them best."

🗳️ Thank you to everyone who joined our campaign, those who there from the very beginning, to those that came out today to vote. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

Catherine Connolly - Left Right, Right Wrong

Why am I considering voting for Catherine Connolly #aras25? "There's enough people out there putting themselves down"

Why am I considering voting for Catherine Connolly #aras25? "A resolute attention to detail"

Up and at it! Otherwise the bank holiday weekend will run away with me! #Vote #Áras25

Are you a little confused about how Ireland’s Presidential Election works? Fear not: I have once again picked up some 🔴 popular 🟠 coloured 🟡 chocolate-based 🟢 confectionary 🔵 treats 🟣 to show how the #aras25 votes are counted. @virginmedianews.bsky.social

The West Wing is now just the Wing.

"Catherine, I'm sure, was an excellent Barrister," says Heather Humphreys on RTÉ's Prime Time. I think this matter has been put to bed now! #Áras25

"If entrusted with this office, I will work everyday to help us disagree better". A ringing endorsement for Catherine Connolly from TheIrishPolithick #Áras25 www.instagram.com/reel/DQDGspI...

My cartoon in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social

The Bar Council, Ivana Bacik, and Jim O'Callaghan (Barrister himself and Minister for Justice) explain the role of a Barrister and how Catherine Connolly therefore fulfilled her role dutifully www.instagram.com/reel/DQB1cz0...

"As I've travelled the country, I have had the great privilege of meeting many people from the Indian community in Ireland. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is the most significant celebration in the Indian calendar.

Instead of giving us reasons why Heather would actually be a good president, it seems the sole focus is just to attack Catherine's character. It's almost as if... there's no reason why Heather would be a good president...

Please vote for me as President I don't know how the law works

"...people are moved by a unifying idea... justice, care for the Earth, for Palestine, for our mother tongue, for our culture, for every life made disposable by greed or indifference... Connolly [is] attuning the national spirit toward dignity, fairness, and peace."

The issue they love as a gotcha - who she represented as a barrister - actually contradicts their other favourite criticism - that she has views too extreme for a president. It shows that she understands what a job involves and can separate her personal views from what's required.

Lovely the relaxed pose of Catherine Connolly as she listens to Vincent Browne during this interview #Áras25 youtu.be/jxo1nR26u4M?...

They say the whole of North Kildare is behind Catherine Connolly, and it sure looks like it! Flocks of people out in Maynooth this evening. #Áras25

Gentle reminder…the Special Criminal Court was opposed trenchantly and for compelling reasons by Mary Robinson before she became President; its continued existence has been criticised by the UN Human Rights Committee, UN Special Rapporteurs, the Irish Human Rights & …

Catherine Connolly left a teabag in the sink #SmearTheBejaysus

Catherine Connolly calls opal fruits starbursts and she calls moros boost #SmearTheBejaysis

10 days or so (1 weekend) left before the presidential election. There's no doubt in my mind who I am going to vote for. I have a plan! I'm going to cast my vote before I go to work on Friday 24th. Open from 7am. Otherwise I fear the bank holiday weekend will run away on me! 🎃 👻 🗳 #Aras25

Well, Super Saturday was pretty super! Volunteers came out right across Ireland to talk to their neighbours about why they’re voting for Catherine. This election will come down to turnout, it’s so important that we all get out and vote on October 24. Start thinking about your polling day plans now

🐸 FROGS TOGETHER STRONG 🐸

Here's how I'm calling it: Ivan Yates will never be elected President of Ireland; Catherine Connolly very well might be. Such a nasty tactic. #Áras25

"You wouldn't know transparency if it hit you in the face."

Has someone asked Barry Ward or any other FG barrister about who they represented or the cab rank rule? This rubbish from FG and media is embarrassing - and yes you can criticise banks as a politician and have represented them professionally before or after. Why are we allowing disinformation?

The many hats of Catherine Connolly: canvassing at Alone, reacting to Budget in the parliament, attending a céilí. All in a day's work! When the hat fits...! She wears them all well - the right hat for the right occasion. #Áras25

Catherine Connolly's is a grassroots campaign. Thanks to donations received, another round of posters are coming to a lampost near you! Thanks too to the willing volunteers! catherineconnollyforpresident.ie/donate

TD Catherine Connolly is not the president... yet! She turns up to do her job as opposition parliamentarian commenting on Budget 2026. #Áras25

Catherine Connolly's sporting antics are still bringing a smile to my face 🏀

Great reception at the Register to Vote Maynooth session. checktheregister.ie asap - time is running out! And the choral society started back rehearsing this evening 🎶 #LoveMaynooth Má Nuad abú! #Áras25 @maynoothuniversity.ie

"I was elected as the first female Leas Ceann Comhairle because of the backing of all sides of the House" This is when Catherine Connolly came more fully to my attention. She was so competent and totally impartial in that trusted role. Measured and always on top of her brief. Presidential qualities.

"A wise country led by a wise president will build on that experience", said Catherine Connolly [post-colonial, post-famine, peace treaty...] #aras25 Meanwhile, there are apples galore to be gathered after the storm 🍎 🍂 www.rte.ie/player/serie...

Catherine is way ahead of the rest! Let's not be complacent, though,talk to friends and family and make sure they vote. She is the only person for the job. 🇮🇪💚💪 #Áras25 @irelandvotes.bsky.social
