Michael D Higgins through the years

[Beerenty]

Phew... I thought the song in the background was going to be that 'Forever Young' shit for a minute. Thank god it wasn't.

[MsJony1234]

the Labour Party are a right wing fascist sect of scum - they'll go the way of the P.D's sooner the better.

[coryoronnor]

@MsJony1234 well done on one of the most prima facie stupidest statements ever posted on youtube. seriously, do not reproduce

[MsJony1234]

@coryoronno 'seriously, do not reproduce' there's my point - far right rhetoric pretty much as the Nazi party like things as I remembered.

Our Greatest Hero

Delighted the people of ireland voted for the right person. Congradulations to Micheal:D

[KeithD194]

I voted David Norris number 1, but MIchael D Higgins is a legend and I am proud to call him my president

[brrrrr12]

Thank God for Higgins and not that snake Gallagher. Considering he's from Dragons Den on his behalf i'll say "He's out".

[howayaboss1]

I am not a Labour party supporter however I believe Michael D is a true states man and would do Ireland proud I encourage all who see this comment to vote for him today!!

[madblaa]

Great video, highlights precisely why I'm voting for Michael D. later. A passionate Irish man a gentleman and a scholar. Hope you do it sir!

[Juliusthebastard]

@bckelleher47 And a little more pro-envelopes? ;)

[onetruesim]

Ken Burns effect and a lovable curmudgeon. What more can you wish for?

[bacabu30]

Who is the woman on the far right at 0:56?

[shanelawless86]

This is a fantastic video. Well done to the editor and all involved in gathering the footage.

[itchyblood]

We need to know the music used!

[shanelawless86]

@itchyblood It's very like Forever Young by Youth Group but definitely isn't that song...

[eoghdes18]

My president.

[tazio2]

The voice of integrity , the voice of intelligence and wisdom , I hope the Irish people can see the potential for good that this great little human being can achieve in the office of the presidency , he has more fire in him at 70 than most people who are still only in their 20's

[kmp2395]

What music is used in this video?

[itchyblood]

Does anyone know what the first song is called?

[cybervin1936]

The only candidate worthy of the job. Best of luck!

[passivebuild]

Anyone else having difficulty looking at the video? Its stopping and starting very often. I have a decent broadband connection. All else seems to be working well too.

[IrishLabourParty]

@passivebuild We've double-checked this and it is working fine here. Sorry you're having problems seeing the video.

[coaxy42]

@passivebuild if ur having truble leave it buffer for a minute and then watch it works for me the whole time

[colmtuatha]

@passivebuild Just so you know, different people receive YouTube videos through different sets of servers at Google. It sometimes takes a while for a given video to propagate fully to all of these servers; so some people will see it smoothly while some will see it less so. A popular video eventually ends up on all the server sets, but this can take a few days or more.

[passivebuild]

@colmtuatha Thanks for the info. You sound like you know what you are talking about.

[cjpwallace]

Maybe your brain is on stop / start.

[clamper1810]

@ArFuckingFheabhas why wudnt he last the full term?

[thethreeamazingmen]

@sirhcelah how?



[Jarlath119]

Good luck in your campaign Michael!

Ireland needs integrity and soul at the top for a change.

[ishotthepromqueen]

Awesome. The very best of luck on the campaign.

[Nevflinn]

My god, someone who can speak in the Dáil without looking at his notes all the time!

[redbairn]

@Nevflinn

Well he's a poet/writer and the others are 'economists'... >.>
