In 1975, she was appointed Professor of Criminal Law, Criminology and Penology at Trinity College Dublin and in 1987, she returned to her alma mater, Queen's, to become director of the Institute of Professional Legal Studies. [3][6], McAleese accepted an appointment as Chairman of the Inter-Departmental Committee which was set up by the Government of Ireland to investigate the Magdalene laundries.

[113], On 18 August 2018, McAleese speaking in the aftermath of the US Grand Jury Report on children abused by Roman Catholic Priests in Pennsylvania said the cover up of this abuse "is not only systemic, it was directed from central command and control which is the Vatican…It strikes me as impossible to believe that all bishops acted equally negligently by coincidence, that's the problem. [68], In March 2011, President McAleese invited Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom to make a state visit to Ireland. However, in RTÉ, she and Alex White (then a TV producer and later a Labour Party TD) were attacked and criticised by a group led by Eoghan Harris, associated with the Workers' Party, over what they perceived as her bias towards republican groups in the North. She was the second female president of Ireland. She left this position in 1979, to join RTÉ as a journalist and presenter, during one period as a reporter and presenter for their Today Tonight programme. [79] She voluntarily donated more than 60 gifts given to her over the 14 years, and worth about €100,000, to the Irish state. [19] She was educated at St Dominic's High School. McAleese was first elected in 1997, succeeding Mary Robinson, making her the first woman in the world to succeed another woman as president.

Within weeks of this she made her first official overseas trip to Lebanon.[38].
