Ireland Elected New President
The Irish public voted Labour Party candidate Michael D. Higgins as their ninth Irish president. Higgins is from Galway and expecting a coming home ceremony after receiving almost 40% of the votes cast.

The Ireland term he will serve is seven years long, and he wishes that his presidency will bring involvement, ideas, and transformation.
