Ireland’s Presidential Election Results: Real Change Starts Close to Home

Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, Ireland’s new President. It’s an important moment for our country — and one that feels like a call for change.

Many people see the result as proof that Ireland wants something different. Maybe that’s true — but voting once, or even spoiling a vote in protest, won’t bring about the kind of change most of us are hoping for.

If this moment really marks a change, it’s just the start. What happens next depends on what we choose to do — together.
