The President has led tributes today following the death of maverick poet and legendary tv presenter Pat Ingoldsby, at the age of 82.
Michael D Higgins said he wanted to ignore the advice in Ingoldsby’s own poem, A Message for When I'm Gone, and pay tribute to him for the remarkable way in which he introduced generations to poetry, verse and humour.
