Ireland s poet President and patron of the arts, Michael D Higgins turns 80 years old on April 18 and Ãmós-Michael D @ 80 will see stars such as Van Morrison and De Dannan honor him with a streamed show on TG4.
When Michael D. (Daniel) Higgins ran for re-election as the president of Ireland for a second term he received the largest personal mandate in the history of the Irish Republic, and his second term began on November 11, 2018. Â
Drawing on his skill sets as a respected politician, poet, sociologist, broadcaster, and long-time promoter of the arts, he distinguished himself as an articulate national spokesman in the wake of similar trendsetting presidents like Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese who raised the profile of the rather dour post for far too long.Â
