#PresidentConnolly's statement on #InternationalWomensDay 2026 was about peace, and Ireland's #Article29 constitutional commitment to international law.
#CatherineConnolly's statement begins: "The violations of international law we are witnessing are shocking and numbing, but we cannot afford inaction.
What we have witnessed in recent days in the Middle East, and beyond, are not political disputes. They are deliberate assaults on international law."

Fantastic statement today by our President #CatherineConnolly for #InternationalWomensDay “The violations of international law we are witnessing are shocking and numbing, but we cannot afford inaction.
What we have witnessed in recent days in the Middle East, and beyond, are not political disputes. They are deliberate assaults on international law, the international laws that have underpinned global peace for eighty years. We must name them as such”. https://president.ie/en/media-library/news-releases/statement-by-president-connolly-on-international-womens-day-2026

Statement by #PresidentConnolly following strikes on #Iran
Date: Sat 28 Feb, 2026 | 17:50
As President of Ireland, may I join with all those who have expressed such grave concern following today's strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel, and Iran's retaliatory strikes in the region.

PATRICK LAWRENCE: New Year’s Notes on Purported Leaders
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/12/31/patrick-lawrence-new-years-notes-on-purported-leaders/
It is no use hoping for any alteration in the collective West’s course so long as today’s “purported leaders” remain in office. By Patrick Lawrence Special to Consortium News “Heaven is high and the emperor is far away.” So did Chinese…

Absolutely right, @byrnensorg!
Irish Facebook and Twitter are overflowing with the splenetic meltdowns of furious #broflakes and troglodytes and fascists and #IsraelBots and #ClimateChangeDeniers and #flagshaggers and #genociders and all the rest of the no-grammar-alliance. ❤
It has been truly heart-warming to watch them rage. 😈
#CatherineConnolly has done good.

2 photos this week reminded me of something Ireland now takes for granted. When you can choose a head of state, you can choose them by the company they keep.
On Friday, US #DoJ released a pic of British queen's son #PrinceAndrew hanging out with child sex traffickers at his mother's #Balmoral castle. 👎
On Wednesday, Áras an Uachtaráin released pics of President #CatherineConnolly with #climatejustice & anti-#genocide activist #GretaThunberg. 👍
-
I love ❤ that the first foreign head of government received by #PresidentConnolly at Áras an Uachtaráin was the #FirstMinisterOfScotland. #JohnSwinney made a courtesy visit on Wednesday.
British #unionists are having another meltdown. 🙄

75% of #Irishpeople support #Irishneutrality.
#CatherineConnolly's clear support for undiluted #neutrality was a big factor in her landslide victory in the #Aras25 presidential election.
Ireland's centrist media runs a propaganda barrage against neutrality. This is a rare case of 3 Irish academics being allowed in The #IrishTimes to make a pro-neutrality case: Patrick Bresnihan, Niamh Ní Bhriain, and Rory Rowan. #TheIrishTimes #iepol

How housing became the key to winning elections in the West.
Until now, the housing crisis had fuelled far-right populism, which draws a direct line between the lack of affordable housing and immigration.
Progressive political forces are increasingly taking the message away from the far right, posting recent victories in New York, the Netherlands and Ireland.

The new chair seats an elected head of state, with no title of nobility. The #ConstitutionOfIreland bans such pretentions.
President Higgins was inaugurated twice in this new chair, in 2011 amd 2018. Today, it was used by President #CatherineConnolly.
The old royal relic has recently been carefully restored, but without its crown. It is now a museum piece, as all royalty should be.

Ireland is the first country in the world whose people have voted to elect three women as Presidents. #MaryRobinson #MaryMcAleese #CatherineConnolly 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

#PresidentConnolly with her three living predecessors. #CatherineConnolly is our third woman president, but the first to be inaugurated wearing #trousers.
I'm a firm believer in #bodilyAutonomy. Everyone should be free to wear whatever they like, and everyone else can mind their own damn business. But after centuries when #Irishwomen were expected to wear a skirt or dress, I am delighted that our women presidents have shown that there is a choice. 👍

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

Irish flag design just dropped to honour new Irish President, Catherine Connolly (for those not aware, famous for her soccer "keepie uppie" abilities, amongst many others)

Great to see newly-inaugurated #PresidentConnolly with her 3 living predecessors, who reinvented the Irish presidency. Starting with #MaryRobinson in 1990, then #MaryMcAleese in 1997, and #MichaelDHiggins in 2011.
#CatherineConnolly continues Ireland's 35-year tradition of a popularly-elected Uachtarán na hÉireann who goes beyond the ceremonial role. Now a fourth successive president will use her position to build bridges, and to address the great ethical challenges of our time. <3

Ireland has a new President
Catherine Connolly (centre), at her inauguration as President of Ireland. Picture from the Irish Times.Earlier today, in Dublin Castle, Catherine Connolly, was sworn in as the new President of Ireland. Her inauguration was the 14th to the office of Uachtarán na hÉireann and she is the 10th person to have that title. The ceremony was the first of its kind I have seen and I was impressed by its combination of simplicity and dignity. The previous president, Michael D. Higgins, looked rather emotional as he handed over the reins. I wish him all the best in his retirement. I think he’ll be a hard act to follow, and I wish Catherine Connolly all the best in the role for the next 7 years.
Incidentally, the oath of office reads:
I láthair Dia na nUilechumhacht, táimse, [ainm*], á ghealladh agus á dhearbhú go sollúnta is go fírinneach bheith i mo thaca agus i mo dhídin do Bhunreacht Éireann, agus a dlíthe a chaomhnú, mo dhualgais a chomhlíonadh go dílis coinsiasach de réir an Bhunreachta is an dlí, agus mo lándícheall a dhéanamh ar son leasa is fónaimh mhuintir na hÉireann. Dia do mo stiúradh agus do mo chumhdach
*This “ainm” is the Irish word for “name”; the President-Elect inserts their name here. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the student to translate the rest of the oath into English.

@kaliagainstallodds @kzeta Sure, but great design helped. #Mamdani's campaign was like #CatherineConnolly's campaign: ahead in every ingredient except money.

@kzeta and my favourite #CatherineConnolly meme:
"Vote the bejaysus out of them".
It took the horrible advice of broadcaster #IvanYates that Connolly's opponents should "smear the bejaysus out of her", and turned it around, virally. Brilliant!

@kzeta The #Mamdani campaign's wonderful visual design had some similarities with the bold simplicity of the brilliant visuals of #CatherineConnolly's successful campaign for President of Ireland. #Aras25
