Description
This photograph is remarkable for showing two future Presidents of Ireland early in their careers. Mary Robinson, née Bourke, a native of Ballina, was Ireland's first woman President, elected in 1990 and serving in that office until her resignation in 1997. Michael D. Higgins, originally from Limerick and a graduate and staff member in UCG/NUIG, was elected to the office of President in 2011 and re-elected in 2018.
