Connolly was elected in a landslide vote at the end of October – defeating Fine Gael candidate Heather Humphreys.
The 68-year-old will take over the role from Michael D Higgins, whose 14-year term ended at midnight.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by politicians, judges and other invited guests and took place at Dublin Castle.
