How many keepie-uppies can you do?

A video shared by Sinn Féin of presidential candidate Catherine Connolly doing keepie-uppies has amassed over 186,000 likes and 1.9m views on TikTok.

INDEPENDENT ÁRAS HOPEFUL Catherine Connolly went viral this week when she impressed the public with her football skills, specifically her keepie-uppies.

She was canvassing at Courtney Place Flats on Ballybough Road, Dublin city, on Monday when the 68-year-old wowed locals as she performed ‘keepie-uppies’ and played basketball with children.

Connolly, who has the backing of a coalition of left-leaning parties, was joined for the canvas by a number of party leaders, including Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald, Labour’s Ivana Bacik and the Social Democrats’ Holly Cairns.

A video shared by Sinn Féin of the keepie-uppies in question has (thus far) amassed over 186,000 likes and 1.9m views on TikTok.

So now we’re wondering: How many keepie-uppies can you do?
