Quite the faux pas from President Connolly in her opening remarks as she welcomes the First Minister of Northern Ireland, Michelle Smith.
Now sheâs after welcoming former President Mary McAleese and her husband Nick. Martin must have downloading a deed poll.
This is great stuff. Has she thanked now former UachtarĂĄn Alex Higgins yet?
Thank you Michael D Higgins, the GOAT of Presidents anywhere ![]()

Catherine has gone all Palaptine here and maintains shes been given a mandate to articulate a vision for a new republic no less.
Whatever that young lad said to her, the two teachers are absolutely mortified by it ![]()
Bid odd from the national broadcaster
I saw that alright. Shur thats the way its gone with these content creators.
He went down in my estimation after he went for the second term. He campaigned initially on not going for it. Also, a so called socialist, living it up for an extra 7 years - doesnât sit well with me.
Who would or should have replaced him?
This all started with Dianaâs death.
Broadcasters suddenly felt the need to tap into what they felt was the MOOD OF THE PEOPLE and to display EMOTION.
This has now reached saturation level and has contributed to the informational and political hellscape we now find ourselves in as a species.
Seems a bit over the top. Did Paddy Hillery âlive it upâ?
Also I read your post in a Kevin Keegan voice in my head. It was inescapable.
Thatâs beside the point.
I donât think he should have run.
Maybe it is but I think 14 years is too long to be President.
Why wouldnt he run when there was no alternative to him? It proved 7 years on that there was still no decent alternative.
Thatâs an opinion. Others would have a different one and others, dare I say most people, would have no opinion.
Seven years with a maximum of two terms always been the way and Iâm grand with that.
Itâs not a cross Iâll die on.
This is hilarious.
Should he have done the job in sackcloth and ashes?
And he was elected in a landslide iirc TO BE FAIR.
Really weak and self centred waffle from CC
