Catherine Connolly, who I used to meet cycling around Galway, was inaugurated as the 10th president of Ireland today. She's already making the right people uncomfortable

On Saturday, it was announced that independent candidate Catherine Connolly will be the next president of Ireland. The leftwing former barrister, mayor and TD (member of parliament) won 63.4% of the vote. @BBCNews breaks down who she is, and what she stands for.

Ireland elects left-leaning candidate as president as rival concedes

Turnout was 45.9%, just slightly higher than in the previous presidential election in 2018.

“The leaked #Microsoft files suggest that a large proportion of [Unit 8200’s] sensitive data may now be sitting in [Microsoft] datacentres in the Netherlands and #Ireland.”

Which in turn, if I understand correctly, would suggest that Ireland stands implicated in the targeted killing of as many as 60,000 Gazans, "the majority of whom are civilians, including over 18,000 children."

Ireland’s participation in the economy of Israel’s occupation & genocide should be front and centre of Ireland’s Presidential election debate.
