flag Heather Humphreys, running for Irish president, says presidential trade missions boost business, denies smear tactics, and affirms her constitutional knowledge.

flag Fine Gael candidate Heather Humphreys said a president engaging in trade missions would significantly boost Ireland’s global business and investment efforts, citing her experience on a state visit with former President Michael D. Higgins. flag She emphasized her commitment to human rights, referencing a personal conversation with a woman from Gaza who lost her family, and denied involvement in smear tactics against opponent Catherine Connolly. flag Humphreys defended her questions about Connolly’s past criminal conviction, a 2018 parliamentary-funded trip to Syria, and her delayed response on hiring someone on the sex offender register as legitimate and factual, not “nasty.” She confirmed she has read and owns a copy of the Irish Constitution.
