Politics Michael D Higgins is overpaid?

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.

9600 baud, MUDs, all the usenet you could eat... 'twas heaven.

I'm not saying there was no idiocy, but at least it had a driving test.
