Has anyone noticed Michael D. Higgins?

Shuddup

Delightful is a commonly used word on TFK. As in "I went for a delightful afternoon tea in the Westbury with my life partner and missed the first half of the Limerick game ".

You’re not suggesting they’re the same person?
I assumed he was just camping it up by way of throwing a curve ball by way of challenging the macho vibe etc.

That’s a very, very interesting theory.

:hushed:

I see what you mean @Fitzy
It’s the exceptions that prove the rule

Does he have an assistant who lives at the Aras alongside him and his wife ?

An assistant? some one that does odd jobs for him like lifting his shirt to the higher shelves?

What’s going on up in the Áras? That question kept zipping around my head as I tucked into the porridge, one morning last week. Then, if the Áras wasn’t bad enough, I saw something that nearly killed me. Having devoured my copy of the Irish Examiner, I had turned to the Irish Times and came within a whisker of choking on oats. Buried deep in the “paper of record’s” letters page was a missive that sent me into convulsions of shock.

But, first, Michael D and the courtiers in the Park. It emerged last week that the President’s chief adviser, Mary van Lieshout, has left under circumstances that are far from clear. The Sunday Times reported that the issue was a tiff straight out of the royal court of an ancient European monarch. Apparently, the chief adviser was peeved that her access to the king, sorry, President, was impeded by a junior functionary wielding excessive power.

This gent, Kevin McCarthy, is bestowed with the title executive assistant, and ascended to his role having served as a driver in the last election.

Two days after the story broke, Ms van Lieshout attempted to kill it by issuing a statement that she had left on amicable terms.

Has anyone noticed something that isn’t funny about Michael D. Higgins?

He’s dying?

Apart from he’s dying

We are all dying. Some of us, however, have never lived.

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 :grinning:
