    Prompted to start this thread after I saw a meme a while back.. a mock up of Michael D Higgins starting school... :p Anyone know what height he is? Google seems to say 5'4 but I know some people of who have met him and say he's tiny so he's surely smaller than that? Just curious!

    He's the President of Ireland which according to the constitution makes him the tallest man in Ireland so around 6'1".

    He might be 5'4, but he towers above the other candidates.

    For the next month, he will be any height you want him to be.

    Ever try screwing in a light bulb in a ceiling.

    He's Michael D height, classification all to himself. He's marginally taller than Meghan Markle's MIL.

    Reminds me of the one told about President Sean T O Kelly, another small man.
    When greeting a team at an international match in Dalymount some smart lad in the crowd roared " Cut the grass for ****s sakes cut the grass"

    He was probably a little bit higher then. If you catch my drift...

    Was standing fairly near him last year, I'd say he's about 5.3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,403 ✭✭✭✭rossie1977


    He is nearly 80. If he was 5'4 in his 20s he will be shorter now as we all lose significant height by 70

    They hate each other.. similar to the Clintons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    He has been a great President in fairness, and will be past the post and hosed down well before the election itself.

    His gushing eulogy on the death of Castro wasn't a great moment though. Castro was a real shít. A dictator, homophobe, and liberal user of prison camps to silence journalists, intellectuals, and political opponents. It's easy to get misty-eyed about communism when you can admire from afar.

    Met him plenty of times, he's a horrible little man.

    Why are you dreaming about him?

    Why? What did he do?
