Donald #Trump visited Áras an Uachtaráin on Saturday to meet #PresidentConnolly.

#CatherineConnolly brought a copy of Bunreacht na hÉireann, the #ConstitutionOfIreland. She says "And my role is set out there, and I discussed that with him, and the obligation on us under Article 29 in particular in relation to resolving disputes peacefully." https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/0917/1591897-president-catherine-connolly-scotland/

Here's Article 29: https://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/cons/en/html#part7

The #USA has military. Ireland's constitution has #peace & #InternationalLaw.

#PresidentConnolly's sister Dr Margaret Connolly spoke to CNN at the weekend, and sent the yanks ape. For some odd reason, the seppos weren't so keen on Margaret's #modestProposal that the #WhiteHouse should be flattened with the rubble of #Gaza.

Margaret lives in Sligo, where she spoke to Sligo's Ocean FM about the stooshie:

#PresidentConnolly met #Trump.

I stole this today from somewhere. For the benefit of people outside Ireland, an Irish mammy with a #woodenSpoon is the most fearsome thing ever.

#Israel has now kidnapped all 478 people on board the #GlobalSumudFlotilla bringing aid to #Gaza, including Dr #MargaretConnolly, sister of Ireland's #PresidentConnolly. https://www.rte.ie/news/middle-east/2026/0520/1574249-flotilla-gaza-israel/

Israel's national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir released a video of prisoners being mistreated. Then #Netanyahu played #GoodCop and ordered their release.

The Irish govt has denounced Israel's illegality. But as usual, the #EU has not condemned this Israeli piracy against EU citizens. 😡

‘Illegal War Crimes Are Illegal’ Insists Lunatic Irish President. 😉

#satire #WWN #WaterfordWhispersNews #PresidentConnolly #CatherineConnolly

#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."

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.

The distance between #Dublin and #London is only 464 km (288 miles), #asthecrowflies. The two capital cities are in a Common Travel Area.

But as #GretaThunberg showed today, it's about a million miles in politics.

In Dublin, #PresidentConnolly regards the #genocide in #Gaza as a horror. But in London, the #CityOfLondonPolice treat opposition to genocide as #Terrorism. So #Greta went from a presidential welcome in #Ireland to arrest in #England / #UK.

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. 🙄

President Connolly is the latest link in the longest chain of democratically elected heads of state in any European country. H/t An Taoiseach for that historical nugget. #PresidentConnolly @president.ie

#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. 👍

Here is President Catherine Co...

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
