LAST UPDATE | 29 Feb
PRESIDENT MICHAEL D Higgins will remain in hospital overnight after undergoing precautionary tests, but he is said to be in “excellent spirits”.

The decision to admit him was taken on the back of advice from professionals who saw him at his home in the Phoenix Park earlier.
In a statement, Áras an Uachtaráin confirmed that the President was “initially assessed” at the Áras “where no immediate concerns were identified but a decision was made to proceed to hospital in order to undergo tests, the initial results of which have been positive.
“The President, who will remain in hospital overnight, is in excellent spirits and has thanked the medical staff for the care he has received.”
