Michael Daniel Higgins is an Irish politician who is the incumbent President of Ireland. The highest political position in Ireland is mostly ceremonial and only has limited powers. He is the guardian of the constitution and a representative of the Irish state in the world affairs.
So far, Mr. Higgins has done a great job, being the cute and kind grandpa you wanted to have. He is truly an approachable, down-to-earth person and people are sharing their experiences and reasons why he is loved by the Irish people.
