People Before Profit Kildare

Despite a wall of media smears, the Connolly campaign inspired a movement from below and showed that most people reject Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s tired politics. The majority back neutrality, housing rights, and real equality - the values of the left. Now onto the Dáil ✊️

An absolute earthquake of a result! Everyone in the campaign here is delighted at the emphatic win the people of Kildare North have delivered ❤️

Voters have delivered an historic rejection of Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil and a victory for the left. Despite a negative campaign of fears and smears from the political establishment, people appear to have delivered the largest Presidential vote ever - for Catherine Connolly ✊️

Voters have delivered an historic rejection of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil and a victory for the left. Despite a negative campaign of fears and smears from the political establishment, people appear to have delivered the largest Presidential vote ever - for Catherine Connolly. This is a vote for the values she embodies - defending our neutrality, opposing war and genocide, and ending the normalisation of homelessness and inequality. It is a vote for an Ireland which values our language and our history of anti-colonial struggle and solidarity. It is also a vote against Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and their budget that delivered for big developers and fast food outlets by pushing more working-class people into poverty. The campaign stood with and gave voice to carers, disabled people, communities and young people who have been left behind by FF and FG. The biggest single issue in this election was Irish neutrality. Again and again, Catherine was criticised for having the guts to call out the re-armament taking place across Europe and the role of the US in arming Israeli genocide. In contrast, Heather Humphreys refused to criticise what she called our allies. The people have decisively chosen to defend neutrality and stand against militarism and war. The government must heed this vote and drop their plans to remove the Triple Lock and eradicate what is left of our neutrality. The mass movement that was galvanised behind Catherine Connolly must continue beyond today’s result. There is a lesson for all of the left - if we unite and mobilise people, we can win. For People Before Profit, we want to continue this cooperation on issues like neutrality, Palestine, housing and cost of living, as well as looking towards the next general election. People need to be offered a very clear choice - continuation of the over 100-year rule of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, or the first left government in the history of the state. We are now calling on all those who supported Catherine Connolly to jointly organise a major conference of the left to discuss the next steps of continuing and deepening left co-operation.

There has never been a more important time to elect a President who will be independent of Government. A President who will speak out when it is required. A President who will represent Ireland with pride, courage, and integrity. Vótáil #1 Catherine Connolly.

A few more canvases from over the weekend - Kilcock, Celbridge, Leixlip, Sallins. Teams were out all over the constituency. The vote is THIS FRIDAY 24TH OCTOBER. What's your plan to get to the polling booth?

A damp day couldn't dampen the spirits of the @KNforCConnolly canvassers in #Kilcock today. Ppl on the doors understand the issues of Neutrality, Triple Lock and United Ireland and they know Catherine is the woman for the job. #Connolly4President #ConnollyDonUachtaránacht

Very positive response to more canvases in Celbridge and Maynooth yesterday. A big turnout will be needed in the polling stations on Friday 24th October. Make sure to get out and vote Catherine Connolly #1! ✊️

Former Fine Gael Minister Ivan Yates lays out exactly what the establishment are rolling out to try and stop our momentum. It won’t work. “I would smear the bejaysus out of her.”

Huge response in Naas today. People want a president who stands up for peace, for integrity and for equality. But turnout is key. If you want Catherine Connolly to be the next President of Ireland, then you need to vote #1 on Friday 24th October.
