Catherine Connolly Projected to Win Irish Presidency
Catherine Connolly is projected to become the tenth president of Ireland after early tallies show an easy victory.
Connolly will be the third female president of Ireland and the first from County Galway. She has been active in politics as a city councillor, TD, and was elected as the first female Leas-Cheann Comhairle in 2020.
Her presidential campaign focused on advocating for the Irish language and Ireland’s neutrality.
“Absolutely delighted with the result”, said Connolly as it became clear she was the frontrunner.
