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.

An unexpected find on a visit to the #NewBrunswick Museum in St John OTD a few years back - an anon. 19thC view of the Dublin Viceregal Lodge in Phoenix Park. No #ArasAnUachtarain or Michael D then but the deer are still there. #IrishArt #IrishStudies
