Inhaler on Michael D. Higgins: "He has only ever been interested in the truth and solution"
As part of a special Hot Press feature, Inhaler share their thoughts on Michael D. Higgins' remarkable presidency.
Inhaler:
He has been a powerful voice for change for over 50 years. Irrespective of opposing sides, he has only ever been interested in the truth and solution. He is a genuine, eloquent and kind man whose heart stretches far and beyond our small island. And someone we have been lucky to have as our president during such violent and uncertain times.
As young people, we have felt his goodness extended to us, as he has advocated for listening to the young talk about the country they wish to live in. He has given us a sought-after identity we have been proud to attribute to ourselves. Who we are as a country is a question that requires a substantiated answer. When it is asked, his face appears at the forefront of all of our minds.
Thank you Michael D Higgins.
