I tested my electric car battery at 100,000 km. OMG, were my neighbors, family, and the press right after all? Did I ask for trouble? 1/7

Connolly’s landslide buries political myths about Ireland’s presidential process - how the establishment's attempts to explain #Aras25 are fatally flawed from the outset, and who really matters in the aftermath.

Even the Healy Rae machine (they canvassed for Humphreys) is vulnerable to left unity. Final tally in Kerry has Catherine Connolly on 62% #aras25 #speirgorm #ConnollywillbePresident

I need every journalist to point out that even if steen got the finger out and got on the ballot (she didn't), and even if all the spoiled votes would have gone to her (they wouldn't), she would have still come last

Don’t flake on voting just because the result is in the bag! Margin matters. Remember how awful it felt seeing Peter Casey jump from 2% polls to 23% after his attacks on travellers. A low turnout/high number of spoiled votes will be seized on by the fash. Every vote for Connolly undermines them

With 72 hours to go until #Aras25 polling opens, a reminder - old, conservative people vote.
If you want something different to what they want, you need to do the same, and tell everyone you know to do it too.
Make a plan to vote.
Make sure others do too.
Then go vote.
Nothing else matters.

I am disappointed about how quite a few ppl have bought into the smears that Fine Gael, & its client media, have made about Catherine Connolly. They’d rather believe them than investigate for themselves. Connolly was 1 of just 2 TDS who fought for Ppl with Disabilities in the Care Ref

My boss arrived at work in a brand-new Lamborghini. I said, "Wow, that's an amazing car!"
He replied, “If you work hard, put all your hours in, and strive for excellence, I'll get another one next year."
