Ireland elects a left-wing president in an anti-government landslide.

Independent Catherine Connolly won a record 63.4% of valid votes.

Heather Humphreys of the government coalition party Fine Gael finished a distant second with 29.5%. Finishing in third and last place Saturday was Jim Gavin of the largest government party, Fianna Fáil, who won barely 7% of votes.

#FineGael finally gets that #HeatherHumphreys needs a #miracle to have a chance of beating #CatherineConnolly. 😈 #Aras25

The best bit of the #SundayTimes report is that Humphreys will shift to a “forward-focused” message “of explaining what her vision is for the presidency”. 😂 With only 5 days to go, a pivot from smears to an unspecified "vision" is like George Bush discovering "the vision thing". 😂🤣
