The Connolly Campaign created a movement elevating solidarity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability of language, communities and our planet as priorities and values. Let's build on that momentum with tonight's #keepleft launch #ceol #craic #caint #speirgorm

Keep your town in business by keeping your business in town #Christmasshopping #speirgorm

An EU-registered ship will pass through Spanish territory carrying 440 tonnes of mortar bomb parts, projectiles and military-grade steel to the Israel Defense Forces’ largest weapons supplier. www.ontheditch.com/eu-registere...

Analog Devices International is sending parts from its Limerick factory to the Israel Defense Forces' largest weapons supplier The IDA gave it €85 million last year Its microchips were recently found in Russian weapons used to attack Ukraine www.ontheditch.com/state-backed...

More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belém (Brazil), 12% up from last year’s talks in Baku, Azerbaijan. What should be the most serious, urgent talks on the planet continue to be a farce. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What a day!!! Great group of #CatherineConnolly supporters and #campaign volunteers gathered @buskerbrown.bsky.social to celebrate the #inauguration of our #10thPresident #GalwayforCatherine #speirgorm

Dublin Castle; Former Irish President Michael D Higgins & wife arrive for the inauguration of the 10th Uachtarán na hÉireann today. The rain is lightly blessing the occasion. Former presidents MacAleese & Robinson are already there at Dublin Castle*

Catherine Connolly will be declared Ireland's tenth president at an inauguration ceremony taking place in Dublin Castle | Follow live

Our new President, Catherine Connolly. A President for peace, justice and equality. Well done to everyone in the movement which made this happen.

On train to Dublin. Golden ticket for #inauguration reception #DublinCastle Conductor just did regular leaving-Galway announcements. Then added, we now have a new President, Catherine Connolly 😊 #presidentconnolly #10thPresident #GalwayforCatherine #speirgorm

#PresidentConnolly #WatchParty #Inauguration

What a magical, emotional day! Started at 9am as ballots tumbled onto count tables, and we tallied alongside volunteers, activists, politicians of all hues. Then up to Dublin Castle for the national count and the final announcement.

So 2 journalists and a production team planned a high stakes #Presidential #debate and they could not come up with one new or creative question. I'm not a journo, but here are a few: What is your vision for Ireland in 5yrs, 10yrs, 20yrs? Who have you met during your campaign who inspires you? 1/2

Great afternoon #canvassing #ShopSt for @catherinegalway.bsky.social for #President #aras2025 #galway #speirgorm Margaret Hogan, who "is ONLY 82yrs" was with us again. Her energy kept us going as the wind picked up and temperature dropped. #coffeepostcanvas #newfriends #Catherine4President

What a joy to listen to @catherinegalway.bsky.social @universityofgalway.bsky.social #Lit&Deb this week. Here Catherine Connolly speaks of respecting her hosts, their plans for the evening, and her willingness to take questions throughout this campaign #integrity #respect #aras2025

As this #campaign continues, the certainty that @catherinegalway.bsky.social is the only choice for #president grows and grows. #Catherine exudes empathy, insight, integrity and deep grasp of complex issues #nonessential #aras2025 #presidentofireland www.instagram.com/reel/DPNBRQ9...

Smear campaigns only work if targets try to run from their actions. Deputy Connolly, standing firm on her actions, turns table on accusers, in defense of a citizen's privacy, and her critics' hypocrisy #integrity #aras2025 #Connolly4President www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/seri...

"This is not peace, it's a colonial carve up. And one of it's purposes is to try and demobilise people. They are now scared." Don't let the obscene "peace plan" of US & Israel distract you from the reality. Continue to mobilise and follow the example of Italian workers - we must shut things down.

Make sure to at least vote in a way that cancels out your landlord's vote.

'The real scandal here is not “bike shed groundhog day.” It’s the groundhog day of car dependency, subsidised at vast public expense, locking us into congestion, pollution, poor health and missed climate targets.' Great piece from @ciarancannon.bsky.social www.thejournal.ie/readme/bike-...

Endangering #Peacekeepers, trying to chase away our eyes on #genocide and #warcrimes. The IDF has no cut off for inhumanity #gaza #speirgorm www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

@manchanmagan.bsky.social Terribly sad to hear the news of the death of #ManchanMagan I enjoyed everything he did. His curiosity for a new topic was infectious. His joy at delving into our culture and language was a gift to us all. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. #speirgorm

Great thread @joenoonan.bsky.so Cheers!

Stay safe folks! Well get back to the ground game Saturday

This Presidential election is clearly going to centre on neutrality. There is one pro-neutrality candidate. There are two pro-war candidates. Make your choice. #TonightVMTV

Jim Gavin three times refused to answer the question - when did he think the military objectives of Israel were met? #TonightVMTV

Finally some straight talking on housing. Catherine Connolly getting to the root of the crisis - neoliberalism - and clear on the solutions, housing as a human right and a radical reset on housing. #TonightVMTV

Mná na hÉireann. @catherinegalway.bsky.social 📸 Neil Carson/PA

can you see this Government ever pushing back against anything Heather Humphreys would say? Or Jim Gavin?! #aras25

The Catherine Connolly can be the beginning of the end for Fianna Fáil - Fine Gael. Get involved on www.catherineconnollyforpresident.ie If Sinn Féin backs Catherine, we'll have a very broad left campaign, clearly against FF-FG and their plans to tear up our neutrality. #CatherineForPresident

Let's make these numbers grow! Join us, its great craic! www.catherineconnollyforpresident.ie/about

Join the movement!!

The political right hates Michael D Higgins – with good reason The establishment doesn’t want a popular socialist leader to find a worthy successor. That's why it's doing everything it can to sabotage Catherine Connolly The left should similarly unite www.ontheditch.com/comment-the-...

Dr Kathleen Lynn wrote of this terrible fire in her diaries and as an elected (although abstentionist) Sinn Fein TD she went to Drumcollegher in the aftermath of the tragedy to offer her support. She described the utter pain & grief of families of those who died www.live95fm.ie/news/live95-...
