Yea, he/she is called the Aide de Camp. I’ll be damned if I can find out her name, but I think that’s her there in the photo at the Limerick Cork match. Obviously not a very public job but I remember Ciaran Fitzgerald held the role for President Dr. Patrick Hillery.
Aide de Camp is right
Never fucking quote me in a post to that fisty cunt, ever. I’ll fucking hunt you down and take pleasure in gutting you boy.

The Limerick in him is coming out. A piebald fir every front garden should have been his slogan.
Michael D Higgins accuses academics and journalists of turning blind eye to impact of colonialism
Only by remembering complex, uncomfortable aspects of Britain and Ireland’s shared history can we forge a better future, says Michael Higgins, president of Ireland
No mention of this in the Irish press today, presumably just because he wrote it for the Guardian.
Well fair dues to him, honestly didn’t think he’d the bottle
Is it worth reading? I trust you to inform the forum of whatever deceitful, selfish, cynical motive lies behind this article
It’s short enough and very moderate.
eg…
“Injustices perpetrated in the name of imperialism, and in resistance to it, often had a brutalising effect, leaving a bitter residue of pain and resentment, sometimes passed down through generations and left available to those willing to reignite inherited grievances.”

And the landlord classes.
Especially the despotic left wing landlord classes.

The omission of the Catholic Church from imperialist forces who oppressed Ireland was notable, but otherwise he fairly sliced through some of the Bruton school of revisionist history.
He sliced right around the edge of it, through the easy target, completely avoiding anything that might make him unpopular.
