Una Mullally: Mary Lou McDonald understands that vulnerability is a strength in a politician

Last week, Fianna Fáil also posted a TikTok video aimed at younger people, Mary Butler announcing a youth mental health office in the HSE. At the time of writing, it had barely scraped over 300 views.

It has been, and will be, electorally disastrous for Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to focus on negative campaigning and anti-Sinn Féin messaging. But that is likely what they’ll do. In the Dáil, Sinn Féin attacks Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil robustly. But this negative messaging is mostly contained within the walls of Leinster House, providing Sinn Féin with ample social media nuggets that demonstrate their Opposition spirit.

This is not McDonald the politician; it’s McDonald the person. The reason I think it was authentic is because it rings true to many who had that procedure. I had a hysterectomy and my ovaries removed when I was 32 and felt the same way. The weird, gendered existentialism that hits you is profound.
