10 young Irish celebrities who could* be president

*Could, if the referendum to lower the presidential age passes.

ON MAY 22, we’re voting on same-sex marriage, but we will also be asked about the age of eligibility to be the President of Ireland.

If the referendum is passed, the president could be anyone who is 21 or over in 2018, when the next presidential election is predicted to occur. And we have some fabulous options, to be fair:

Niall Horan

Can we just vote Niall for President right now? Give in to the inevitability.

Hometown

All of them. They can split up the duties.

Nadia Forde

Lindt Hello Range Launch. Pi Mark Stedman / Photocall Ireland Mark Stedman / Photocall Ireland / Photocall Ireland

Turning the ripe old age of 30 in 2018, President Nadia Forde would be a little bit more mature than the other candidates. And Ireland would be all the better for it.

Sshh. Sshh. Don’t panic. It would be Jepic.

Robbie Henshaw

Good at scoring tries = good at being President? This is possible.

Saoirse Ronan

Saoirse would actually be a great president. Well-travelled, well acquainted with the big players in the world. Think about it.

The Love/Hate cat killer

Otherwise known as Barry Keoghan. He can turn it around, we know he can.

Jack Gleeson

AND JOFFREY SHALL REIGN OVER WESTEROS ONCE MORE.

The Strypes

Again, each of them can divvy up the tasks to become one SuperPresident.

Eve Hewson

Bono can help her! Be grand.
