Speaking ahead of Catherine Connolly’s visit to Belfast on Thursday, Gerry Carroll said: “I am delighted to be hosting Catherine Connolly TD on her visit to west Belfast. We will be meeting with local community groups and campaigners, as well as visiting Coláiste Feirste, Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich, Raidió Fáilte and both Shankill and Falls Women’s Centres.”
“Catherine is an accomplished, progressive TD and a tireless voice for working class people across Ireland. Her principled support for Irish neutrality, outspoken advocacy for the rights of women and migrants, deep respect for the Irish language and passion for economic justice make her the only viable presidential candidate for the left.”
“I urge all parties who consider themselves left or progressive to get behind Catherine’s campaign.”
