Summary[edit]

Description

Presidential candidate Michael D Higgins today met shoppers on Grafton Street at lunchtime.

Accompanied by Labour Party members and supporters, Michael D Higgins walked the length of the street, starting at the Stephen's Green edd.

Tonight, Michael D Higgins will also take part in a live debate on TV3's Vincent Browne.


Michael Daniel Higgins (born 18 April 1941), known informally as Michael D, is the President of the Irish Labour Party and the party's candidate to contest the upcoming Irish presidential election. He was formerly a TD for the Galway West constituency, and was the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht from 1993–97.

In September 2010 Higgins indicated that he was interested in receiving the Labour Party's nomination for the 2011 presidential election.

He was selected as candidate for the presidency at a special convention in Dublin on 19 June 2011, beating former senator Kathleen O'Meara and former party adviser Fergus Finlay. His candidacy was endorsed by Hollywood actor Martin Sheen, who described Higgins as a "dear friend". Higgins assisted his rival David Norris by urging his party colleagues on Dublin City Council not to obstruct Norris's attempts to get onto the ticket at the last moment "in the interests of democracy", adding that the nomination criteria were "outdated."
