Statement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin on the Presidential Election

25 October 2025

I would like to congratulate Catherine Connolly on what will be a very comprehensive election victory. It is clear she will be the next President of Ireland.

Catherine ran a successful and impactful campaign.

She has secured a clear mandate to represent the people of Ireland as Uachtarán na hÉireann over the next seven years.

The people have made their choice, and I have no doubt Catherine Connolly will serve the country well.

As Taoiseach, I look forward to working with the new President in the time ahead as Ireland continues to play a significant role on the global stage, and as we look forward to hosting the EU Presidency in the second half of 2026.

I also pay tribute to the other candidates who put themselves forward for election, Heather Humphreys and Jim Gavin.

It takes great courage to put yourself forward for the highest office in the land, and both are people with a long history of public service and community involvement.
