Steen took the side of the church over Irish women on abortion
She took the side of the church over Irish LGBT people on marriage
She would've sided with the church over Irish children on the children's ref
She has betrayed all Irish people, except straight Irish men

Polls have closed in the Irish presidential election, with results expected tomorrow. Independent candidate Catherine Connolly, supported by left-leaning parties and politicians, is up against Heather Humphreys, who represents the centre-right party, Fine Gael. Here's more from @bbcnew@flipboard […]

I am voting for Catherine Connolly for President because now more than ever, we need an independent voice for peace and inclusivity in the Áras. Our long string of independent-minded Irish Presidents speaking truth to power, like Michael D Higgins, Mary MacAleese, and Mary Robinson, has been the best aspect of our democracy in my lifetime, and it is so important to see that continue and be supercharged by Catherine Connolly. The alternative - rewarding Fine Gael with their first ever Fine Gael President in Heather Humphreys after decades of failure - especially failing our generation with housing, climate, transport, and overall quality of life - is unimaginable to me. Having a FG President who just repeats the FG Gov talking points would be a massive downgrade for our democracy and politics. I was sure of that months ago and I'm even more sure after seeing Fine Gael's toxic US-style attack adverts against Catherine Connolly, alongside attempts to 'smear the bejaysus' out of her - dirty tactics which have no place in our politics.
I completely understand people's concerns that we only have 2 options on the ballot - the best thing about our democracy is that we don't ever typically have a forced 2 choices like they do in the UK and US, so it's a shame that we only have 2 options this time. That is due to Maria Steen not actually trying (only appearing a few weeks before deadline and refusing to try the council nomination route) and Gareth Sheridan not having a hope because FF and FG undemocratically banned councillors from having a free vote. However, while spoiling your ballot is valid and many countries have a 'none of the above' option on the ballot (a great idea), I am urging you to take a few minutes to engage with the 2 options and ask yourself on polling day - is it really the exact same for you whether we have a president empowering the legacy of Michael D Higgins etc or whether we have a Fine Gael puppet as president, gaslighting us by repeating government lies that they are trying their best and doing everything they can to tackle the housing crisis and climate crisis??
Full statement on why I'm supporting Catherine Connolly for President:

Newspaper clipping.
Seems the American-style attack video against Connolly backfired. I suspect a lot of undecideds are in that 8% increase. The healthy cynicism of the Irish resists political & media manipulation & we prefer a clean fight. #Irishelection #Irishpresident

Poll results showing figures that should be readable?
So the government smear campaign & Irish media bias (including our so-called public broadcaster #RTE) against Connolly is going well. 😂 Latest poll taken by BreakingNews.ie who generally do straightforward reportage. Their summary of the pro's & cons of the 2 candidates is good. #Irishelection

Just to make sure, if I put a 1 next to [CC or HH] and then a 2 next to the other one, can I put €3,000 next to the remaining candidate without spoiling the first two preferences?

Only 1 candidate fits the top 3 priorities: Catherine Connolly - having previously worked as a barrister, with years of experience working as an independent TD in the Dáil - including as Leas-Cheann Comhairle.

It really seems like they are continuing to revert to the Fianna Fáil of old, an old boys club with a focus on name recognition over experience or competency.

Catherine Connolly for President. Join the movement. CatherineConnollyforPresident.ie
I really hope that Sinn Féin back Connolly. They need to decide if they want to be the largest party of opposition or if they want to be part of a united Left government.

@ciaraioch.bsky.social @robertbohan.bsky.social How much would it cost to commission either of you to draw a sketch/deciption of what I'm calling 'The Cerberus of Irish Democracy Denied' (MM, SH & ML)? Neither of you may be interested, just thought I'd ask. 😊 #artists #speirgorm #irishelection

When a child is dysfunctional we often blame the parents. Well, Wille O’Dea (first elected 1982) and Mary Lou McDonald (first elected 2011) are now officially the father and mother of the 34th Dáil. Yikes!! #irishelection
