On Thursday, he went back to his official house, Áras an Uachtaráin, after a seven-night visit.

According to a spokesperson, the president expressed gratitude to every member of the medical staff for the attention he got after being admitted.

“Ireland is lucky to have such wonderful, resolute and caring medical staff,” an Aras statement said.

The president's medical experts recommended that he think about reducing his public appearances in the upcoming weeks to allow for a brief time of recovery.

A representative for Mr. Higgins has stated that he signed two pieces of legislation this week and continued to fulfil his constitutional obligations while he was in the hospital.

The spokesperson for the president's medical staff anticipates a full recovery and tests carried out after his admission have revealed no significant or long-term health issues.
