Michael Daniel Higgins (Mícheál Dónal Ó hUigínn) was born on 18th April 1941 in Limerick. He is the ninth and current President of Ireland (Áras an Uachtaráin), having taken office on 11 November 2011.

A very good excuse to give the Saw Doctors 'Michael D rockin' in the Dáil' a spin.

The President tries to calm the growing fascist anti-immigrant wave fostered by some parties in Ireland https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/president-michael-d-higgins-condemns-those-sowing-hate-and-building-fear-around-refugees-as-poll-shows-56pc-believe-ireland-took-in-too-many-42328205.html

This is a interesting article by Fintan O'Toole about Ireland's membership of the EU and what it meant for Ireland generally and it's relationship with Britain.

One fascinating take away: Irish membership of the EU was opposed at the time by John B Keane, Luke Kelly and Michael D Higgins.

@devxvda It is a very good listen. Michael D is 'the man'.
