flag Ireland's presidential election draws scrutiny over disinformation, outdated process, and lack of diverse representation.

flag Ireland’s presidential election process faces scrutiny amid concerns over digital disinformation, foreign interference, and a system seen as outdated and risk-averse. flag Despite the president’s ceremonial role, growing digital engagement has made the race vulnerable to manipulation by automated content and false narratives. flag The withdrawal of high-profile candidates like Conor McGregor highlights systemic weaknesses, while critics argue the current selection method favors safe, unremarkable figures over leaders who reflect Ireland’s diverse values. flag Calls are mounting for reform to ensure a more inclusive, representative process that better aligns with the nation’s evolving society and safeguards democratic integrity.
