This is important because it shows that she was not acting with plausible deniability as a loose cannon private citizen, but with support from the President’s office. The letter’s message was in clear contradiction of Irish Government foreign policy, and it is arguable that its endorsement by the President’s office breached Article 13.9 of the Constitution.
“The powers and functions conferred on the President by this Constitution shall be exercisable and performable by him only on the advice of the Government, save where it is provided by this Constitution that he shall act in his absolute discretion or after consultation with or in relation to the Council of State, or on the advice or nomination of, or on receipt of any other communication from, any other person or body.”

It seems strange that the letter was posted on the President’s website. She very obviously sent it in as a private citizen and not in the representation of the country. It felt to me that she made efforts for it to be shown; she signed it as just Dublin 8, rather than their *actual* address. And putting it on the website just seemed like the wrong thing to do.
Just thought:
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if there was another Sabina Higgins who lived in Dublin 8 and everyone, including the President’s staff, mixed them up
A fucking embarrassment Sabina is to Ireland, she needs to come out and clarify her position and condemn Russia the aggressor. See Sabina I suspect is commie lover with western guilt, she can’t help herself, any regime that’s anti American she gets wet between her legs.

if hypocritical doesn’t apply that must mean you are admitting to being a misogynist.
lol.
The Irish left has to get its act together with foreign policy.

You are an utter clown throwing around “misogynist” as a deflection tactic because you were found out to be talking absolute horseshit.
Good.
Higgy Baby is the liar and the hypocrite. He promised the electorate he would not seek a second term in office.
