La nouvelle présidente de la République d'Irlande a été élue la semaine dernière. Catherine Connolly, candidate indépendante, soutenue par tous les partis de gauche, a obtenu plus de 63% des voix. Une victoire écrasante pour une candidate radicalement de gauche.        Catherine Connolly, une ancienne avocate de 68 ans, est originaire de la banlieue de Galway, à l'ouest du pays. Elle naît dans une famille de quatorze enfants. Son entrée en politique se fait d'abord sous la bannière du Parti travailliste, qu'elle quitte pour devenir indépendante. Députée de la circonscription de Galway-Ouest depuis 2016, son profil surprend dans le paysage politique irlandais. « Elle est sans doute la députée irlandaise la plus à gauche, explique Gary Murphy, professeur de sciences politiques à l'université de Dublin, une indépendante avec un sacré passif d'activisme de gauche, qui a passé sa carrière dans l'opposition, et n'a jamais cherché à rejoindre une coalition gouvernementale. » Lors de l'élection, elle a obtenu plus de 63% des suffrages. Loin derrière elle, sa seule rivale, Heather Humphreys, du parti de centre droit le Fine Gael, a obtenu un peu moins de 30% des voix. Une victoire surprenante, car avant l'élection, Catherine Connolly était une personnalité politique de second plan. « Elle a un ancrage local dans la circonscription de Galway, indique Gary Murphy. Mais sur la scène nationale, avant l'élection présidentielle, elle était vue comme une figure politique marginale, elle n'avait pas un profil très connu, très public. Quand elle a annoncé sa candidature en juillet dernier, beaucoup de personnes, et j'en fais partie, étaient sceptiques. » Une candidate dissidente Un des éléments pour comprendre la victoire de cette figure politique de second plan est en partie sa position de dissidente. Catherine Connolly ne porte pas de bilan. Face à elle, sa rivale, Heather Humphreys, était membre du gouvernement actuel, un gouvernement impopulaire. « Humphreys, c'est une femme politique avec cette prudence, voire certaines fois une langue de bois, qui ne suscite pas d'intérêt particulier », décrypte Christophe Gillissen, professeur d'études irlandaises à l'université de Caen Normandie. « Donc le contraste avec Connolly, qui défend des positions sur l'environnement, c'est devenu quelque chose de très largement accepté malgré tout, mais le fait qu'elle le défende depuis longtemps, et avec sincérité, le fait qu'elle croit en certaines causes, ont montré qu'il y avait là une vraie personne et pas une apparatchik, si j'ose dire », ajoute-t-il. Catherine Connolly a également bénéficié d'une union de tous les partis de gauche, notamment du Sinn Féin, le parti qui promeut la réunification de l'Irlande, et une des forces politiques les plus importantes du pays. Des positions radicales en matière de politique étrangère Durant sa campagne, Catherine Connolly a défendu l'idée de l'Irlande comme une terre d'opportunités et d'accueil pour les migrants. Elle a aussi déploré les politiques du logement du gouvernement, un secteur en crise dans le pays. Mais elle s'est surtout illustrée par ses déclarations radicales en matière de politique étrangère. Elle a dénoncé le génocide à Gaza. « Elle a dressé un parallèle entre la militarisation de l'Allemagne actuelle et celle qui a eu lieu dans les années 1930, elle a critiqué l'invasion russe en Ukraine, mais elle a dans le même temps critiqué le déploiement de troupes de l'Otan en Europe de l'Est, liste Gary Murphy de l'université de la ville de Dublin. Ses opinions ne sont pas les plus communes. » Catherine Connolly a été durant sa campagne une candidate de rupture, qui a suscité de l'espoir, en particulier chez les jeunes Irlandais. Mais la fonction présidentielle est essentiellement symbolique en Irlande. Catherine Connolly accueillera des dirigeants étrangers lors des visites officielles, elle prononcera des discours qui résonneront sans doute chez ses sympathisants, mais elle n'aura pas de pouvoir exécutif. Elle a promis d'être la présidente de tous les Irlandais, qu'ils aient voté pour elle, ou non. C'est sans doute là que réside sa tâche la plus importante. L'Irlande est extrêmement divisée, et l'abstention a atteint presque 55% la semaine dernière. À lire aussiIrlande: donnée favorite, Catherine Connolly élue nouvelle présidente du pays

Hope and OpportunityBa mhaith liom mo chomhghairdeas a ghabháil le Catherine Connolly agus a foireann. Maith sibh as feachtas Uachtaránachta dearfach, forásach agus trócaireach a chur chun cinn.I want to extend my congratulations to Catherine Connolly and her team. Well done for fighting a positive, progressive, compassionate and cohesive Presidential campaign. Well done also to the many Sinn Féin activists from all parts of the island and all the others who enthusiastically handed out leaflets, erected posters, canvassed thousands of doors and worked hard to get the vote out last Friday.Lots of words have been used to described the outcome. Stunning. Triumph. Historic. And many more. For me the two most important are hope and opportunity.Catherine Connolly was an exceptional candidate. The success of her campaign cannot be separated from her authenticity and her connectiveness with the electorate and with those, many of them first timers, who campaigned for her. That campaign and the emergence of a centre left alliance of parties backing Catherine has provided hope that the century long dominance of the two conservative parties, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, can be ended. The Vinyl GiftI love listening to music. There is nothing as uplifting as a good live session. And the music stays in your head forever after,  to be dipped into when the need or notion moves you. For example, Martin Hayes magical concert last week in Belfast's Grand Opera House. Its still jigging in my brain. Martin was well served by guitarist Conal O'Kane and bouzouki and concertina driver Brian Donnellan. They were joined for the encore sets by Donál O'Connor and Neil Martin, two of my favourite musicans, who opened the event along with singer Mary Dillon who was outstanding.  All  in all a wonderful evening. Martin Hayes  playing was amazing, elegent, draoíluíleacht, exquisive, sublime and betwitching. He transported us to a higher state of being. And all of us are the better for it. But it isn't possible to get to live events all the time. So apart from the radio I have a fine collection of recorded  music. They include cassette tapes, CDs and LPs. Some are over fifty years old.Seamus Drumm gave me an ipod of over a thousand tunes years ago. I'm still working my way through  them.

Clare's opposition TD has dismissed a recent meeting of MidWest politicians over the HIQA review as an optics exercise. Only government Oireachtas members from Clare and Limerick along with Mayor of Clare Paul Murphy attended the event, where they decided to lend support to a three-tiered HSE plan aiming to solve overcrowding in the region. Despite being invited, TDs from Sinn Féin, Labour and Independent Ireland declined to attend.

Where now for Micheál Martin?The decision by Fianna Fáil Presidential candidate Jim Gavin to withdraw from the contest means the race is now between Independent Catherine Connolly and Fine Gael's Heather Humphreys.But what of the man who asked Gavin to stand? Suffice to say I am not a supporter of Micheál Martin. There is nothing personal in this. I have seen at close quarters how he works and I am not impressed. How Fianna Fáil responds to this debacle which its leader landed it in will determine how it faces into the future. Because the process by which Jim Gavin became the Fianna Fail candidate says more about Fianna Fáil and how Micheál Martin runs it than anything else. No leader can ignore or disregard the views of grassroots or other activists. Diktat may keep a leader in place if he has the guile and resilience to survive. But for what purpose?  Especially for a party which is proclaims itself to be republican. Micheál's instinct will be to brazen it out. But he can only do that if the party lets him. And that risks the party completely losing its sense of itself.Mr. Martins negative approach to the Good Friday Agreement and the Unity Referendum it provides for amounts to a refusal to fulfil his obligations under the Good Friday Agreement, the Irish Constitution and Fianna Fáil's own aims and objectives.The Orange and the Green. Another friend of mine died last week. An Orangeman, Ian Milne. He was also an undertaker. I met Ian in 2003 in Dublin Castle when he spoke at The Forum for Peace and Reconciliation. I thought it was a very good initiative by him in an effort to find a resolution of the Drumcree stand-off caused when the Portadown Orangemen refused to accept a ruling by the Parades Commission preventing them from marching down Garvaghy Road. After the event we bumped into each other in the Men's Room. In those days Men's Rooms were the main venue for the many first informal off the record words between me and some unionists. I told him that Sinn Féin would talk to the Orange if that would be helpful.  Ian was very friendly although he was at pains to tell me that he wouldn't reveal at that time that he talked to me. Eventually we did do the meeting with some Portadown Orangemen. It was in Conway Mill and while it didn't resolve the issues it was a very worthwhile and informative discussion. It's good to talk. And to listen. Ian was also in dialogue with Seán Murray for over twenty years as part of their efforts to advance reconciliation.
