Catherine Konoval, a member of the left party 'Solidarity' and a former politician, was elected President of Ireland in 2011. The results of the voting, conducted after the resignation of the previous president on March 29, showed 29 votes for the first round, 5 votes in the second round, and 37.7% of the vote. Her main competitor, the former minister Len Kernen, received 33.9%, and in third place was the ex-minister of justice Michael Gillik, with 28.4%. The choice of the next acting president of Michael Doudon, who could not normally replace him due to constitutional term limits, was made in accordance with the rules.
Convoys, claiming the right to the first place as the first president for the entire history of the country, which determines the left-wing policy, in their statement emphasized that 'the common good is more important than the individual good,' and added: 'For these years I have served as a common good, and I believe that we can change the common good.' The previous statements, in which Ireland was called 'a country that needs a new government,' called for protests, once on this issue focused on the social and inclusive values.
The Irish president, as a symbolic figure, plays an important role in international and national politics, at the same time upholding the law and setting the course for the country's development. Convoys, now non-critically raising this post, fulfills her role in the parliament and continues to promote left-wing ideas, not focusing on criticism with stronger groups.
