WATCH: President Higgins releases Christmas Message 2023President Michael D Higgins has called for all to celebrate this Christmas season as "a time for understanding and appreciation for one another". His entire message is as follows:“Mar Uachtarán na hÉireann, as President of Ireland, may I send my warmest wishes for a peaceful and Happy Christmas and New Year to you all. This Christmas, we are conscious that across the world there are many people facing the most horrific of circumstances of war and displacement. At this time of multiple, complex global challenges, it has perhaps never been such an important shared task. He invites us not only to reconnect with nature, but also to achieve more sustainable, enriching and just lives together on our precious, shared, vulnerable planet that is in peril.
