Seachíall Ó Níall is a Kiravian politician who served as Second Executive of the Kiravian Federacy from 21206 to 21209, and has served as Prime Executive since the death of Andrus Candrin.
Early life
Ó Níall was born in Targrév, Hiterna, a small industrial town that had been hard-hit by the post-Kirosocialist economic transition. His lower-middle class parents relocated to the Gaelic Quarter of the state capital, Hiternakivon, after the automotive wax factory that employed them shut down. There Ó Níall, who was raised in a Kiravic-speaking household, attended a Gaelic bunscoil and later Hiternakivon West High.
Ó Níall attended Duniver University in Duniver, Kiygrava, where he studied applied economics and management.

Ó Níall was sworn in as Prime Executive at Kroveniren Hall immediately after Candrin's death was officially certified, and gave a radio address to the nation later that day in which he pledged to "continue [his] predecessor's work in strengthening Kiravia's economy, society, and global leadership," and said that he did not have any plans to change the composition of the Executive College, nor to seek a nomination from the Council of States to stand for the Prime Executure in 21210.

21209 Electoral Crisis
A pivotal event during Ó Níall's first year in office was the 21209 Federal Stanora election. In the months leading up to the election, most polling and predictive models forecast the SRA with a net loss of no more than 12 seats, while the Caritist Social Union was predicted to lose as many as 30, mostly to the New Deal Alliance and Caucus of Justice. However, the overall balance of power in the legislature was not expected to change, and exit polling on election day appeared to comport with these predictions. However, as results began to be reported from state and local election boards, the numbers suggested a dramatic victory for declared NDA candidates, and ultimately yielded what would have amounted to an outright NDA majority in the Stanora.
