I think it’s time I introduce you to the President of Ireland. Michael D Higgins. He is the most precious thing we have. All the stereotypes about Ireland are true. We are hobbits.
@Miriamm I point to Ireland when Brits say "well what should we have instead of a Monarch then?"
A little old man with his dog, that's what. Maybe just a dog?
@Lazarou @Miriamm: We were lucky to get the old man and his dog, to be fair. We could have had Seán Gallagher or Peter Casey if the electorate hadn't been sensible.
@raktheundead @Lazarou @Miriamm He may be an old man with his dog, but he is greatly admired.
He talks little, but when he does he talks sense.
