Given President Higgin's repeated habit of politicising his office to further his left-wing agenda, most recently in his speech to the SIPTU Conference, has he done irreparable damage to the office he holds?
I have never liked his as a person or as a politician. That is mainly due to him being quite possibly the most arrogant person I have ever heard, his rank hypocrisy and what I consider to be the abuse of his position while a TD, a Minister and now as our President. He is now damaging the highest office in the country, dragging it down to his level. The only positive is that he's old and won't be around that much longer.
