Your voice. Your choice. Your country. Just 87 ye Your voice. Your choice. Your country.

Just 87 years ago, Ireland elected its first President, Douglas Hyde. 
Since then, only nine people have ever held that office — two women and seven men.
Tomorrow, we choose the 10th.

It’s been just over a century since Irish women first won the right to vote — and today, two women stand as the final candidates for the highest office in the land.

You may not be happy with the candidates, you might wish there were more voices, from beyond politics — but the real power lies in participation. Having the right to vote is something generations before us fought hard to achieve. It’s not just a duty — it’s a privilege. 

So tomorrow, take a moment.
🗳️ Go out. Vote. Be counted.
Because every election writes a small part of Ireland’s story — and your voice is part of it.

If you’re in two minds about why you should vote, read our full Drogheda Life editorial: https://droghedalife.com/your-vote-matters-lets-prove-the-odds-wrong-this-election/
