544Kviews
The position of President in Ireland is largely ceremonial, and only has limited powers. The current incumbent, Michael D. Higgins, is the guardian of the constitution and a representative of the Irish state in world affairs, and it's fair to say that he does a great job!
Resembling the kind and cuddly grandpa that you always wanted, Mr. Higgins comes off as a genuine and approachable guy. People are sharing examples of why he is so loved by the Irish people, and we wish that all presidents were so happy and positive! Scroll down below to check out why everyone wants to have a cup of tea with the president of Ireland, and let us know what you think in the comments!

That's a burner!!! Love it. Wish I'd be irish, could vote for him.
Can we get him to move to US? We desperately need a President who isn't totally into himself
He looks surprisingly like the french song composer Didier BARBELIVIEN... Didier-BAR...984eb1.jpg 
He is so charismatic that even the bird is listening to him patiently...
I hate to say this about a grown man, but he is adorable!!
Can't you like something without hating first?? Just make a damned post about this cool Irish guy.
Exactly. Whoever wrote the title to this story should go sit in a corner for a while. There's enough negativity in this world without having to instigate more.
You're so vain, you probably think this title is about your president. There is no hate here, the title writer only asked whether one was tired of their president.. touchy, what?
Personally, the dogs are getting my attention. They are beautiful!!
Can we just dump all of our politicians (Yes Trump is terrible but so is Pelosi, Water, Pence, Clinton and all the rest) and become a part of Ireland?
He's so adorable :)
He looks like Bilbo Baggins.
What a great guy! Love the tea cozies too.
Go Ireland!! ( I'm Irish btw)
I am very proud of my President and these are some great photos of another remarkable leader.
He reminds me of my ancestors in family photos!! Photos of the men in my family inspire one to say "What a wee little Welsh man!" Must be our shared ancient Celtic heritage.
how a leader should be. listening, caring and humble.
Lovely man!
This just makes me jealous...
Hm. Well. Now I am sitting here. Thinking about "Mama Merkel" and if I should move to Ireland...
Hey! Be happy you're not stuck living in USA or Russland or Turkey or China or Poland...or Syria or Afghanistan. You should be more worried about AfD and CSU. Ireland sounds beautiful but I'm worried what will happen to it after Brexit. You know how they say: The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
Corey Smith - that depends on what will happen to the border with North Ireland. And then there is the trading between GB and Ireland... Of course Ireland will be affected with Brexit. Maybe more than any other state in the EU.
Ireland is not part of the UK. I don't think they will be affected at all.
dammit - it's Russia, not Russland and country, not state
Love the photos and how much he loves his dogs, while the obviously love him! RIP Sioda.
if only more leaders were like this legend the world would be a happier place i think oh and fcking die trump u wank stain
My president (Serbian) is psychopath. He hates us, our country and people. He's killing us every day with stupidity, criminal behavior and his bots. Unemployment in Serbia is high, an on the other hand people work for 200 and 300 euros. Bills are high and if you can't pay bills because you don't have, he and his dogs stole everything from you. We can't travel and work abroad because our passport is on the black list on so many countries. He sells us like a slaves and sells everything in our country (old fabrics, companies, event the water sources). News are full of everyday tragedies, suicides, domestic violence, starving to death etc.
Best president.
Those dogs absolutely adore him...that’s good enough for me
Can we in the US borrow him for a week? I would say trade, but wouldn't want to inflict the poison that is our cheeto-in-charge on Ireland.
The man's still a politician, mind you.
A president you can be proud of...what magic is this?
I think I love him, too. If only our American President could be more like him!
Love this man!

Loved this post tonight!
Those dogs tho! He seems awesome, but he wouldn't be half as great if he weren't so clearly loved by his two magnificent doggos.
I have never heard of him but then I realised in norway we only hear about bad presidents.
Didn't even need the photos. You had me with the "limited powers" statement. Photos were a plus though.
That's it, I"m moving to Ireland!
heard a quote today- The Donald says the British "love him" - I really dont think we do - the only person worthy of admiration is Melania - who says very little, yet stands by her vows to the hamster-headed megalomaniac - just my opinion - the Irish President and his humility and his beautiful dogs are just heart-warming
Sorry, but I can't forget Melania's' jacket.
Any guesses who Therasa May would rather spend the afternoon with?
O God - I have just noticed that Melania's name needs only a few more letters to spell Megalomania - will never unthink that now
Have you heard of Trump Derangement Syndrome? Looks like you've got it bad.
Oh, I almost forgot - the plagiarism of Michelle Obama's speech (did she WANT to get caught and than to have everyone talking about her? because there is no way she seriously thought she'd get away with it) Melania looks beautiful but she's not an angel.
Yeah, Melania blew it with the jacket, then the explanations got truly weird. Her spokesperson said it was just a jacket and no political statement was being made. Reallllllly?? Then Don the Con said it was directed at the "Fake News", you know, the people that report what is coming out of the hole in that talking Circus Peanut. Can't wait for November!!!
Quentin Trembley? Is that you?
The presidents of Ireland and Croataia are cool!
I want Jacinda and him to meet! <3
I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK OF BERNIE SANDERS WHEN I SAW HIM.
My President is Donald Trump, so no... I'm not tired of him at all. :D I voted for him and will do so again!
Sorry buddy, not the smartest move
You're an idiot.
Oh what could have been....Bernie 2020
This is amazing. I can't fault it. But does he get shit done in his country? Its amazing that he actually stands in lines and stuff but what has he done for poverty or crime? Asking the hard questions here guys.
Hi Gareth, in ireland, the majority of the power rests with our government. They are responsible in respect to issuing laws and making constitutional changes. Our president is an elected head of state but does not have much of a say in the day to day running of the country. In saying that mickey D has a long standing history in politics, he speaks fluent Irish, is very passionate about people's rights and especially those of the under privileged. He is an exceptionally intelligent, warm, humorous man who has always conducted himself with dignity, humility and poise. He's running for and second term here and I don't think he'll have much competition!! As an Irish woman, I'm proud he's our president. If you ever got a chance to spend five minutes with him.... you'll understand what I mean ☺
He's a wonderful person. Full of integrity, intelligence and goodness. His role is not comparable to the American presidency, and our Taoiseach, whose role is, is far less adorable.
Truly a president of the people. Unlike that Chump chap on the other side of the pond.
Hihi John Smith is so adorable. Typical Chump chap who can’t say more than maga. Says a lot about the kind of people attracted by Chump. People without any kind of soul. Funny and sad at the same time :D
John Smith: Why are you rednecks so fucking stupid? Must be inbred.

Lidee, perhaps you missed the "largely ceremonial" part here. MAGA !!
Gladly agree with this John Smith chap. His president really gets SHIT done and in fact all he does is SHIT, as in, undoing his predecessor’s work. Definitely support MAGA, too, as in “Morons Are Governing America”. Enjoy :)
I will note, Jonno, that wether President Trump has gotten much actually done that he set out to do is an arguable point. If you pay attention, many of his central goals have not been completed, and by this point he said they would. Also, it is rather arguable that what he has done is actually helping America, or hindering it. Yes, having an alpha male who gets shit done would be nice. Sadly, neither America or Ireland seems to have that.

Would rather have a boorish Alpha Male who GETS SHIT DONE than a kindly grandpa figure who bemuses and endears. MAGA !!
No, I'm not tired of my president, Trump is the best. Love his immigration stance.
No, I'm not tired of my president. No, I'm not tired of all this winning.
Ignorant inbred redneck.
I'm a Filipino who lives in the very blue Washington.
I mean if it was a competition on who can kidnap the most immigrant kids he's winning but I don't see any other wins...
Oh don't you worry, I've definitely read into the economy since he took office
You can be blind to the economic growth if you want, I don't mind.

Tired of my President? Nah, I never get tired of winning.
Just warning you, yer comment is gonna be downvoted to heck and back. Sorry in advance.
Well, now you're doing the same thing they do- acting overly reactionary about everything. Why can't we all just chill and stop insulting each other for once...
Why are you inbred rednecks so retarded?
Just a warning, you are an idiot and life will kick your ass until you are planted. Enjoy.

I don't care if I am down voted. They can't handle the truth! Bored Panda has turned into a libtard refuge. Down vote that!
