Irish President Michael D. Higgins, 82, has left the hospital after a seven-day stay for fatigue-related observation. Admitted to St James’s Hospital in Dublin last Thursday, tests revealed no major health issues. The president returned to office yesterday as a precautionary measure. The president’s office expressed gratitude for the hospital staff’s care. Higgins will attend a planned meeting with Prime Minister Leo Varadkar this afternoon.
Doctors advised him to steer clear of public events for a few more weeks. The president’s health scare drew attention, but the reassuring outcome suggests he is on the mend. The community awaits his gradual return to full public engagement, prioritizing his well-being during this recovery period.
