Last night Michael D. Higgins was sworn in a president for his second seven-year presidential term as President of Ireland in Dublin Castle.
He is the fifth President to serve two terms.
The inauguration took place last night at Dublin Castle with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar being among those in attendance alongside the President's wife Sabina Coyne and former Presidents Mary McAleese and Mary Robinson.
At his inauguration, the President echoed the words he spoke upon his re-election last month, emphasising that he will be
a President for all the Irish people
regardless of wherever they may be or what their circumstances are.
