    But before the election of #MichaelDHiggins in 2011, the Office of Public Works #OPW sought a new chair, free of the monarchist shite. #NoKings. The winning tender was from John Lee in Co Meath.

    Lee designed it to be presidential rather than regal. Simple, and modern, it's designed like the presidency to not dominate. The frame is quarter-sawn Irish oak, entirely free of the invaders' gold. The shape is flowing, rather than pompous, and the arms express openness. A #RepublicanChair

  11. Great to see newly-inaugurated #PresidentConnolly with her 3 living predecessors, who reinvented the Irish presidency. Starting with #MaryRobinson in 1990, then #MaryMcAleese in 1997, and #MichaelDHiggins in 2011.

    #CatherineConnolly continues Ireland's 35-year tradition of a popularly-elected Uachtarán na hÉireann who goes beyond the ceremonial role. Now a fourth successive president will use her position to build bridges, and to address the great ethical challenges of our time. <3

  23. Oíche deireanach do Michael D. Higgins mar Uachtarán na hÉireann anocht. Bhí mé ag labhairt lena iar-bhearbóir ansin. Dúirt sé go nglacfadh sé a áit sa scuaine i gcónaí, agus go raibh sé béasach agus cairdiúil.
    Go raibh maith agaibh Michael, Sabina agus na madraí

  26. President Michael D. Higgins on the people of Ireland as he leaves office tonight:

    “How valuable it was to be able to join with them in engaging with the issues, projects and ideas that will help us to achieve the best of our country and the best representation of Ireland and its values abroad – an inclusive citizenship and a creative society in a real Republic.”

  28. Today is the last day of our greatest president – Michael D Higgins. His tenure has been one of duty, pride, and above all, representing Ireland with justice, peace, and compassion. He has stood for the vulnerable, championed human rights, and called for an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people. True leadership, as he has shown, is measured
    by the dignity and hope it brings to others.
