Catherine Connolly has been elected Ireland's 10th president on a record margin after taking 63.3 per cent of the vote.

She received 914,000 first-preference votes with Heather Humphreys far behind on 424,000. 

Another big story from the day was the unprecedented number of spoiled votes. A total of 213,738 spoiled votes represented 13 per cent of all votes cast in Friday's election.

Addressing the assembled crowd at Dublin Castle after being declared the winner, Ms Connolly said: “I will be a president who listens and reflects and who speaks when it’s necessary.

“I will be a voice for peace, a voice that builds on our policy of neutrality, a voice that articulates the existential threat posed by climate change, and a voice that recognises the tremendous work being done the length and breadth of the country.”

Her comprehensive victory saw her win 42 out of 43 constituencies. Ms Humphreys came out on top in her local constituency of Cavan-Monaghan.
