Sabina Higgins came in for criticism over the weekend for a letter to the editor of the Irish Times in which she criticised an Irish Times editorial published on 20 July saying she was"disappointed" and"dismayed" that it did not"encourage any ceasefire negotiations that might lead to a peace settlement".
A Ukrainian member of parliament described Ms Higgins' call for a negotiated settlement of the war as"under-informed" and"painful" while the Ukrainian Ambassador to Ireland said she did not believe the letter was the official position of the President of Ireland. "He has repeatedly condemned what he has described as the illegal, immoral and unjustifiable Russian invasion of Ukraine. He has called for an immediate Russian withdrawal and end to the violence."

That country should NEVER have taken on the Russians only one outcome 🙄
Very little and very late Michael. If the Yanks were in Ukraine you would have been on to it straight away.
Of course, he did not address why the President's website was used as a blog to post the ill informed opinions of his family members.
Nothing like a woke Hobbit
Yes, but allowing Sabina to use the Presidents website to promote her own personal viewpoint, was wrong. Russia invaded Ukraine so why should Ukraine 'negotiate' a settlement?
Old Commies can't help themselves but genuflect to the Kremlin. Old habits die hard.
If you don't run, they can't chase you.
Grains has been shipped out today good news but arms has been shipped inn today bad news for ordinary Ukrainians who is suffering the political mistakes. The zeal used to negotiate for grain shipment should equal be used for peaceful negotiations to end the war.
Hopefully shut up these Pro Nato agitators infesting our country
It's very important that NATO get right up to the Russian border. Don't forget, the west are always the goodies 😉
Will the war mongering centrist Dad's be happy with that?
Has President Higgins published details of his expenses, as he promised to do before his re-election? Or do the media not worry about it now that they've moved on to a newer story?
President Higgins still condemns the war and his wifes objections to the Irish Times editorial are still valid.
Putin must be shitting himself
The people who condemn Russia's action in Ukraine, were silent for 8 yrs, as Ukrainians killed 14000 ethnic Russians in the Donbas. That is why the Russians are welcomed as liberators for driving out the Ukrainian fascist Azov battalions. Zelensky is a puppet of the west.
Will that manufactured little storm in a teacup ever go away? 🤦♀️

Really Gerry? Why are hotels in Kiev taking bookings?
*Alleged war.
