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. 🙄

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.

It is only 103 years since Irish people got one person one vote in parliamentary elections. Only 80 years since our first popular vote in a presidential election chose Seán T. O'Kelly as our second #PresidentOfIreland. And yesterday, men and women in 21st-century hi-vis safety gear once again carried the ballot. <3

Aimed at Scottish readers who have never elected a head of state, I have tried to tell the story of how the 88-year-old office of #PresidentOfIreland has evolved from a low-key retirement post to a prominent platform for aspirations unfulfilled by government ... and how a series of outsiders have reshaped the job. It's messy, but that's democracy for ya.

Michael D Higgins (Mícheál D Ó hUigínn) was born on 18 April 1941 in Limerick. He is the ninth and current President of Ireland (Uachtarán na hÉireann), having taken office on 11 November 2011. He is an academic and poet as well as being a fluent Irish speaker.
A very good excuse, as if one was needed, to give the Saw Doctors' "Michael D rockin' in the Dáil" a spin.

Dear God, there is now talk of Conor McGregor running for President in Ireland. 😬
