The passing of Pope Francis has drawn a significant crowd to Rome, with key figures like President Michael D Higgins attending his funeral. Higgins expressed the gratitude of the Irish people for Pope Francis's impactful life, highlighting his commitment to addressing global poverty and advocating for migrantsâ rights. Various political leaders and clergy members are also present to honor the late pope. The event showcases the widespread respect and admiration for Pope Francis's efforts and his dedication to humanitarian causes throughout his life.
As President of Ireland, I am pleased to communicate the appreciation of all of the people of Ireland for the life, the documents and the contacts to the most vulnerable all over the world made by Pope Francis, who I was honoured to meet with on five occasions.
The world was struck by the generosity given by Pope Francis, right until the very last moments of his life, in terms of seeking to embrace, as he put it, all of humanity.
