And one in Kerry

It's quite remarkable how so much of their rhetoric and opinions overlap. Also remarkable how people who would disdain Le Pen, Farage and Orban are fully on board with CC and won't hear a word of criticism of her

Here she is talking about project fear amongst other things. Boris and Nigel would be proud

It’s very obvious she basically agrees with them on Syria, Russia etc and just wants to sidestep the questioning every time.

Each to their own but I personally can’t vote for Catherine Connolly as long as her answer on this question stays the same.

Throwing them under the bus would cost so little and put many voters at ease. But she only has good things to say about them, and always refuses to specify any disagreement.

They weren't out there calling Mick Wallace and Clare Daly "two respected parliamentarians"

Damian Stack @damianstack.bsky.social · 19h

Why wouldn't she say that then?

Damian Stack @damianstack.bsky.social · 20h

Here in the IT's blog of the debate www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Catherine Connolly ‘would love’ if a united Ireland happened during her presidency

Humphreys says she respects Trump’s mandate, but ‘you never know what you’re going to hear’ from the US president

Again this morning Catherine Connolly refused to say she if she would or wouldn't appoint Mick Wallace and Clare Daly to the Council of State (read into that what you will) and called them "two respected parliamentarians" (read into that what you will)

Won't say she won't put Mick and Clare on the Council of State

Party’s decision to support Connolly’s presidential campaign only deepened my concerns about its current direction

About a week late with this but I had the pleasure of meeting Jim Gavin's presidential campaign once at a charity do, it was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny

We have to assume she would put them on the Council of State

Interesting can't remember what podcast it was, but they were talking about his FRC role and they were saying he wasn't the big footballer brain in the group, he was the facilitator and the logistics guy, what we need to do to get from here to there. Not big on the vision thing to quote GHW Bush
