Connolly hiring a few people today.

President makes seven appointments to Council of State

President Catherine Connolly has named Linda Ervine, a sister-in-law of the late Progressive Unionist Party leader David Ervine, as one of her seven nominations to the Council of State.

Absolutely delighted that President Connolly has recognised the fabulous work Linda Ervine is carrying out in the promotion of Irish in loyalist East Belfast. The Irish Language belongs to us all. I think various parties missed a trick in not appointing Linda Ervine to the Senate for her selfless work in promoting the language.

Great move by the President of Ireland

as predicted worzel gummidge is a train wreck. the ceremonial head of state should not be attending this kind of conference.

They have the power to stop her leaving the country but since FFG are as woke as herself, they probably won't

Democracy. It's a nuisance, isn't it.

Rather than the power to block, the Constitution actually states that they have to provide consent. Presumably they have already done so if it’s announced.

The Government are accountable to the Dáil so if any public reps have an issue with it then they should bring it there. I wouldn’t be in favour of politicians openly criticising the President. I didn’t vote for her, am not a fan of her but she has a direct mandate from the people. A huge mandate at that.

she has no business there. FFG stymied a free and fair election let them deal with the fallout.

Shows that having another layer of. " government " is trouble.
Get rid of the office.

She was elected to be president, not Taoiseach

She went for the wrong job. It’s not her role to be a commentator or to whinge about anything and everything that annoys her.

The Taoiseach needs to speak with her and remind her of the responsibilities and limitations of her office.
