Mar Uachtarán, cinnteoidh mé go léiríonn an Uachtaránacht na rudaí go léir atá i gcoitinn againn – ár gcultúr, ár dtrua, agus ár ndaonnacht comhroinnte.”

“Tá glúin nua ag teacht in aois sa Tuaisceart – óg, bríomhar, muiníneach, agus réidh chun todhchaí a thógáil i gcoitinn.

Tá siad ceannródaíoch sna healaíona, sa teanga, agus i saol an phobail. Tá a lán acu ag féachaint ó Dheas don chuimsiú, meas agus ceannaireacht. Ní féidir linn iad a ligint síos.

A message from Catherine on World Mental Health Day.

As a former clinical psychologist, Catherine has a long legacy of calling for increased investment in mental health services and supports.

We’re just over two weeks out from polling day - this is when the undecideds will be making up their minds. We want to bring Catherine’s message of hope directly to them, and share why we think she will be a brilliant President for the people.

As President, I will be a constant voice for those children, for those families - reminding the state, day in and day out, that equality must be the measure of our society, not just solely growth or budget surpluses.”

We have children sleeping in emergency accommodation, families forced into food insecurity, and communities where generational poverty becomes inevitable. Those are not mere statistics - they are human lives.

This Budget expects struggling parents to make do, shifting the burden of survival onto families and non-government organisations. That is not justice - it is abandonment.”

Connolly for President @catherinegalway.bsky.social · 3d

“This Budget has a moral failure at its heart. While there has been noise about increases in social support and tax relief measures, what we see is that child poverty and child homelessness have been deepened, not alleviated.

She might pinch your ball or hop on your bike, but she’ll also speak out when required.
There has never been a more important time to elect a President who will be independent of Government.
