President Michael D. Higgins Meets with Right of Place Second Chance in Áras an Uachtaráin

President Higgins and Right of Place Second Chance 27th March

It what was a fantastic day overall, with the launch of our Annual Report we were asked by President Higgins to a special function in honour of the work that Right of Place have done over the last year.

It was a vindication from President Higgins and his staff and again re-iterated his profound understanding of the marginalized within our society. The Fact that president Higgins, took the time to meet with every individual present, shake their hand and have a word with each meant so much to so many.

President Higgins re-iterated to all present his deepest thanks and respect for the work that Right of Place is doing in aid of Survivors over the last year and urged us to continue the work that we are doing, despite the obsticales we may face along our journey.

He also spoke, in some detail, of how he would speak directly with Taoiseach Kenny to again re-iterate his understanding of Survivors, with the help of our Report.

To President Higgins from all present, and from all those who have helped make Right of Place Second Chance successful over the last 12 months – we thank you sincerely.
