    1. lol, she has some neck on her … she was spewing venom just a day or two ago, and for weeks on end before that.

    2. >”Catherine will be a president for all of us and she will be my president and I really would like to wish her all the very, very best.”

      Fair play Heather, gracious in defeat.

      Fuck off, Heather, you snide wagon. You were perfectly happy to slander Connolly during your campaign so don’t be coming out with these hollow words of congratulations now.

      Off to the shadow realm with you.

      Humphreys was a really poor candidate who did nothing to prove to the people of Ireland that she was the right person for the job.

      Fair play to Connolly let’s hope she focuses on her duties and represents us well over the next seven years, steering clear of any controversy on the world stage.

      At this stage, I’d say she’s happy more than anyone to get away and lie low after such an undignified campaign.

      Im not a fan of hers but I will say I dont think she expected or maybe even wanted to go for it but was convinced.

      RTE hadn’t even started doing county tallies yet and she’s already given up the ghost, fucking hell.

      Look at the comments here, why would anyone better bother running for it if this is the abuse you get

      Humphreys fighting hard to beat spoiled for second place

      Alan Kelly, Ivan Yates, Brian Leddin, Rosin Garvey. Your girl took some beating.

      Genuinely think the biggest reason she lost by such a margin is her voice is annoying. Couldn’t be listening to her for 7 years.

      Good on her for being a good loser though. Saying “Catherine will be and president for all and will be my president” is classy.

      Whatever advisors Fine Gael have that advised them to run a smear campaign need sacking

      > “I do think there needs to be a greater understanding of other traditions in this country and perhaps that’s something that maybe I can contribute towards, because there’s a lot of misunderstanding out there and if we’re ever to have a united Ireland we have to respect all traditions.”

      If we want a united ireland lads, we just need to accept that once a year they build multi story bonfires with the sole purpose of burning the flag. No big deal at all.

      She seemed tired during the PrimeTime debate. The campaigning takes a huge emotional toll – must be a huge relief to her that it’s all over now.

    15. Frosty_Sound_8148 on

      She seemed absolutely delighted not to be president. It’s the most animated I’ve seen her.

    16. Own-Pirate-8001 on

      Genuinely fair play to Heather for being gracious in defeat. Some really nice words from her.

      That said – Simon Harris, FG & their director of elections should take a long look at themselves for running such a bitter, nasty and cynical campaign.

      It’s a public good that that strategy hasn’t been rewarded.

      They won’t look inwards – especially Harris – but they should.

    17. Dr_Maestro on

      Most genuine she has been all campaign. She must be delighted to be over with this shitshow of the FG campaign.

    18. Alive-Quail-85 on

      Fair play to her no one can take her political achievements away magnanimous in defeat.

    19. So, she wasn’t lying when she said she wouldn’t contest the Presidential Election when she retired before the last GE.
