I heard he drives a Dinky.

Dotrel · 26-10-2011 09:03PM

Judge Higgins by his size do you? And well you should not!

ninebeanrows · 26-10-2011 09:12PM

I saw him the other day he's pretty small

Good guy though, although most certainly not a walkover, has seriously strong and intelligent views.

Saw him a couple of times in Limerick city centre early today.
He is little.
But he doesn't make pretend someone's trying to kill him, kill people, or go on about pederasty.
So who cares really

I was in Claremorris this evening at about 5pm. A monsterously oversized white coach pulled up into the square. It was absolutely massive, white, gleamingly clean & had an almighty sized picture of Michael D.Higgins on the side of it.

Two speakers on the roof projected the whispy voice of Michael D around the small Mayo town streets... promises of how a fine President he would make and such like things.

It was as if a giant Michael D spaceship had just landed from the sky. An elderly couple stopped & watched as the automated doors opened up. I was expecting a fanfare....

..... but instead, out stepped a tiny little man with long strands of white hair hanging from parts of his head and blowing in the wind.

The couple looked at him, then walked on.

Michael looked around him... hoping, probably for some kind of welcome, some kind of connection with human beings. His little eyes searched the surrounding area, but apart from the elderly couple - who by now were just a small blimp on the horizon - there was no-one.

No-one but Michael & his big, massive, white, gleaming, shiny bus with the picture of his head, probably 5000 times the size of his own in the entire square.

He waited another minute, then turned, got back on his bus & was driven off into the misty grey evening.

So, to answer your question OP... he's quite small.

I would have thought Higgins to be about 5' 2, and Gallagher more like 5' 10.

fryup · 26-10-2011 09:53PM

is Michael D a fairy?

30Min · 26-10-2011 09:56PM

He's small....but I'd still roide em !!

whubee · 26-10-2011 09:56PM

Well, Ireland is a small country, and we want someone to represent us.

Jen Pigs Fly · 26-10-2011 09:58PM

As tall as you want him to be!

American's would love him, real life leprachaun for them to gawk at.

I'd say definitely under 5'.

gigino · 26-10-2011 10:09PM

he is a little old man who is past it,in a little old country thats past it.

I saw him, would say he's about 4 ft 11.
But thats not the reason I would not vote for him.

Jesus Wept · 26-10-2011 10:11PM

I looked it up last week, according to the article I read he is 5'4. More surprisingly, Sean Gallagher is 5'7.

suspectdevice · 26-10-2011 11:01PM

Bykobap · 26-10-2011 11:02PM

Soon enough he'll be measured in length. Soon.

Lovely. Stay classy.

Cillian13 · 26-10-2011 11:07PM

He's about knee high to a midget

LordSutch · 26-10-2011 11:11PM

5' 8" with box.

themandan6611 · 26-10-2011 11:31PM

True you are the finest candidate I have ever seen,
Standing sixteen inches, one or two centimetres. With eyes wild, green, and glasses black as coal

And you ride the campaign so well, mouth light to the touch,
I could never vote for you no matter how I hate all the others
