Tuesday 11 November 2025 - Catherine Connolly: Unpacking Her Vision For Ireland

Catherine Connolly has been sworn in as Ireland’s tenth President — pledging to be “a unifying president, a steady hand, but also a catalyst for change.” In her inauguration speech, she outlined a vision for a new republic built on equality, inclusion, and neutrality. With the left now holding the highest office in the land, can Ireland’s progressive parties find common ground, and speak with one voice? Joining the debate: Minister of State Hildegarde Naughton, Sinn Féin TD Mairéad Farrell, Social Democrats TD Cian O’Callaghan, and Naomi O’Leary, The Irish Times Europe Correspondent. A new era, a new president — all on The Tonight Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
