TODAY IS A glorious day for it is President Michael D Higgins’ 76th birthday.
There’s nothing our diminutive President loves more than a decent photo op, so we decided to round up some of his greatest. For the day that’s in it, you know yourself.
1. Here he is meeting the Ambassador of the Republic of Fiji. Two strong men giving each other strong, stern glances.
