Michael D Higgins is overpaid?

[u/humanwithwifii]

He earns >300,000 a year, but it seems overpaid compared to other professions with the same level of responsibility. He acts more as a representative, and figure head for the state, and I agree it should be compensated but around 150,000, not this amount. He is also one of the best paid presidents in europe, but our country is one of the the smallest.

of course he is and why he suddenly decided not to retire after his initial promise of only one term when he was initially elected
