One of the many, many highlights from last night's Late Late Toy Show was little Kathyrn in the Book Nook, who was an avid reader and something of a politics nerd.

Kathryn talked about President Michael D. Higgins briefly with Tubs and, before long, he produced a signed and framed letter from Aras an Uachtarán for her.

Earlier today, the President's official Instagram and Twitter account (yes, he's got both and they're both verified) posted an image of the letter and we've transcribed the letter in full.

Take a look.

 

Dear Kathryn,



May I congratulate you on your appearance on the Late Late Toy Show. I hope that you have enjoyed being part of the making of the programme.

I have been told of your interest in reading, and in particular your interest in the history of Presidents including all of Ireland's Presidents from the foundation of the State.

As an avid reader you will know that books are windows to many worlds, both real and imaginary, and the benefits, and joys too, of reading will last a lifetime. People who read books will not just have the experiences of their own lives, but are also to take into themselves the feelings, actions and wisdom of many others.

After my election in 2011 what I told the 'Being Young and Irish' events that I organised was, "be the arrow, not the target."

You're doing well as an arrow!



Beir Bannacht, 

Michael D. Higgins

Uachtarán na hÉireann

President of Ireland

 

God bless our tiny wizard President.
