By Cillian Sherlock, PAPresident Michael D Higgins has been advised to cut back on public engagements after being discharged from hospital. Mr Higgins, 82, was admitted to St James’ Hospital in Dublin last Thursday evening after experiencing a “mild transient weakness”. A spokesman said the president thanked all of the staff at the hospital for the care which he received following his admission. His medical team advised the president to consider cutting back on public engagements for the coming weeks in order to facilitate a short period of recuperation. A spokesman for Mr Higgins has said he continued to carry out his constitutional duties while in hospital and this week considered and signed two pieces of legislation.
