Sir, – Margaret Lee (September 25th) writes that President Michael D Higgins often "forays into policy matters".
This allegation is a subjective one as there is scope within the role of the President as outlined in the Constitution to represent the people of Ireland.
In his oath of office, the President undertook to “dedicate my abilities to the service and welfare of the people of Ireland”.
In my opinion, Mr Higgins always speaks with the voice of reason, of inclusion and vision for a better Ireland.
