Waiting for the Christmas tree.. #Miggeldy #Speirgorm #Aras25

As our Miggeldy leaves office, I hope he takes those restrained presidential gloves off and returns to the gloriously outspoken man he used to be, listen to the fire in his voice in this old interview.

Let the "wankers whipping up fear" beware, he still has a lot to say.

Michael D Higgins, President of Ireland, stands behind a lectern addressing his audience. He wears a navy three piece suit, and holds a cane. Beside him are two awards he has just been presented. The venue is a cinema, mainly furnished in red velvet. He stands to the bottom right of a large screen. He is smöl. We love him very much.

I’m giddy as a kid, because I got to see an t-uachtarán receive an award for his work for the arts - in this instance specifically his part in shaping the Irish film industry- and give a passionate off-the-cuff speech. Go raibh mile maith agat as gach uile ní #Miggeldy ❤️

Michael D Higgins- Thank you, we’ll miss our poet President. #aras25 #presidentOfIreland #miggeldy #spéirghorm

I love the fact that a parent, writing a post on social media a few years back, of how their child had misspelt the president's name led to his now well-known and beloved nickname! Thank you, #Miggeldy, for being an amazing representative of Ireland! You will be missed by all!

I hope this country truly appreciates how lucky we've been to have President Higgins as our Head of State for so long. What a wonderful man he is 💚

What... uh... breed?

He looks like the perfect option for when #Miggeldy eventually has to downsize, maybe in ten years' time.

Screen shot of the Irish Times “Inside Politics” podcast. The episode title is “Should President Higgins speak for Ireland on NATO?”

Will need to listen to this when I’m not in a mood

this gem from 2019: My 8yo thinks all presidents are called Micheal D so when he said ' you know Russia's president Michael D Putin...' I nearly crashed the car
