Michael D. Higgins President Of Ireland (EDM2341)

Michael D. Higgins President Of Ireland

EDM number 2341 in 2010-12, proposed by Chris Ruane on 31/10/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Devolution.

That this House welcomes the election of Michael D Higgins as President of Ireland as a beacon for reason, tolerance and decency on these islands and throughout the Irish diaspora; hears his call for reflection on those values and assumptions for which the people have and are paying a high social and economic price; shares his vision for the reconnection of society, economy and ethics; applauds his belief in an Irishness as love for a shared island, with shared values of equality, respect and participation in active citizenship; and further applauds his belief in an Irishness built on recognising sources from which spring the best in reason and curiosity, a powerful instinct for decency, the celebration of power in the pursuit of the best and the power of culture, science and technology delivered through the contemporary genius of the people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
