President Michael D Higgins has hailed the “extraordinary legacy” left by Archbishop Demond Tutu as he paid tribute to the anti-apartheid campaigner.

Mr Higgins said the death of the churchman aged 90 on Sunday would be felt in Ireland by those who campaigned against the regime in apartheid South Africa.
