PRESIDENT Michael D Higgins faced his first major grilling of the Presidential election as all six candidates faced off on TV last night.

SINN FÉIN Presidential candidate Liadh Ní Riada stunned viewers and members of her own party last night when she said she would wear a remembrance poppy on Armistice Day.

"He's the cutest man I've ever seen!" squealed one teenage girl to her friends as they saw President Michael D. Higgins walking down Oliver Plunkett Street this afternoon.

IT is time for Ireland to have an “exceptional” president like Liadh Ní Riada, according to Sinn Féin party leader Mary Lou McDonald, speaking at presidential candidate’s campaign launch in Cork last night.

INVESTIGATIVE journalist Gemma O’Doherty’s chances of taking part in the Presidential race have been dented after she failed to secure a nomination from Cork County Council.

SINN Fein's candidate for Ireland's presidential election has pledged to be a new president for a new Ireland.
