Speeches By President Of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins

President Higgins received 4th class pupils from Gaelscoil Eiscir Riada at Áras an Uachtaráin. The students of the school, one of the schools that had to be closed earlier this year as a result of structual building problems, performed songs from their "Míle Grá" christmas play. The President addressed the children, thanking them for the beautiful cards they had sent the President after the elections, and congratulating them on their beautiful use of the Irish language.
