Three candidates — Catherine Connolly, Heather Humphreys and Jim Gavin — have been nominated via the Oireachtas route. Roscommon, Longford, Cork City, Galway City and Dublin City councils opted not to nominate anyone. Several local authorities declined to put forward potential Independent candidates, narrowing the field. Presidential hopefuls attended the Ploughing Championships for campaign appearances, wearing wellies and avoiding formal white trousers. Campaign activity continues across constituencies as nomination decisions by councils shape the candidate list and outreach efforts shift to public events and local engagements.
