President Michael D. Higgins was Ryan Tubridy’s first guest on Friday night’s Late Late Show and, from the outset, proved to be the most engaging and interesting guest of the series so far.
And that includes Thomas Barr and the O’Donovan brothers.
He also spoke about he has remained unchanged despite his term in the Áras.

President Higgins is a statesman of the people, and there was nothing but love for the greatest waiter this country has ever known.
We are privileged to have Michael D Higgins as President of Ireland.
