Clare Civic Reception In The Pipeline For President Connolly
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
The newly inaugurated Uachtaráin na hÉireann could be making a visit to Clare very soon.
It comes as plans to host a civic reception for President Catherine Connolly have already been set in motion.
Catherine Connolly has officially received her seal of office this lunchtime and is now forever more in the history books as the tenth President of Ireland and the third female to hold the position.
At her inauguration ceremony at Dublin Castle, President Connolly read the Declaration As Gaeilge, after prayers and reflections were offered by 11 groups, including the Catholic Church, Church of Ireland, Presbyterians and both the Jewish and Islamic communities.
Speaking at the event, Connolly says she will be a President for all.
Closer to home, Clare County Council has formally congratulated the newest permanent resident of Áras An Uachtaráin and will send an official letter in due course, but one elected representative is wishing to go a step further.
Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle has written to the council requesting the county's highest honour, a civic reception be bestowed on Catherine Connolly.
He believes it's fitting given her links to Clare.
