Students from St Kevin's National School, in Littleton, Co Tipperary, put questions from the programme's viewers to the President news2dayRTE
To celebrate its 20th birthday today, news2day has a special interview with President of Ireland Michael D Higgins.
Bród is in fact the same age as some of the fifth and sixth class students from St Kevin's National School in Littleton, Co Tipperary, who stepped into the shoes of news2day journalists. "I was drawn in the Gael Lin championship against Pat Kirby and I had the most humiliating half hour in my life in the alley in Newmarket on Fergus, but I did succeed in breaking his service once."He had a strange introduction to learning, he said, because he did not start school until he was seven years old.
Later in life when he went into teacher training, he realised that this concept of researching information and then explaining the lessons to others was the core skill at the heart of his chosen profession.At that point he had been in Dáil Éireann for 25 years and served seven years as a senator. "There's no doubt whatever, a very dramatic moment for Sabina and I, and an emotional one, was when I was being inaugurated in Dublin Castle and I gave a speech that set out what would be my agenda for the term of the Presidency."
