Briefly

Heather Humphreys, former Social Protection Minister, promised to head to the Gaeltacht and learn Irish if elected president. She secured confirmation as Fine Gael's nominee to enter the Áras race after MEP Seán Kelly withdrew from the party's internal contest. The scrapped green paper on reform of disability payments was described as only ever a consultation document. The nomination follows internal party developments and positions Humphreys as a candidate with a stated commitment to Irish language engagement and a clarified stance on previous disability reform consultation materials.
