Human rights activist and poet Michael D. Higgins is headed for victory in Ireland’s presidential election as the Irish picked a left-wing idealist to be the new face of a debt-struck nation.
Higgins’ main challenger, business guru and reality TV celebrity Sean Gallagher, conceded defeat Friday in a telephone call to Higgins. Gallagher said he expected Higgins would be, as his own campaign slogan promised, “a president to be proud of.”
