There was a huge amount of love for Mary Robinson following her Late Late Show appearance

The former President of Ireland chatted to Tubridy on Friday evening.

Given the current state of affairs, it can sometimes be tough to remember that Presidents can actually be good at their jobs and also really liked by the public. Sure, we're currently quite lucky with Michael D. Higgins, but just look to UK or US neighbours, and their respective leaders, and it can be very easy to assume that Miggeldy is something of an anomaly. Not the case though, as former Irish President Mary Robinson took to the couch on Friday night's The Late Late Show, and in the process immediately reminding us just how awesome she was, and still is! Earlier this week, Robinson was appointed as chair of The Elders, an international organisation of public figures noted as elder statespeople, peace activists and human rights advocates, becoming the third chair of the organisation, having been preceded by Kofi Annan and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Despite that big news, Robinson was actually on the show talk about why we are at a crucial juncture in the battle to save the planet, and also gave her take on where she sees Ireland today and what is next for the country. She also had some choice words to say about President Trump: Clip via The Late Late Show During and following the interview with Tubridy (who JOE interviewed, actually!), viewers took to Twitter to confirm their adoration for Robinson: https://twitter.com/SeanDefoe/status/1058478781369847808 https://twitter.com/griffski/status/1058479237823389701 https://twitter.com/MrNiallMcGarry/status/1058475498978844673 https://twitter.com/colette_sexton/status/1058478235493777408 https://twitter.com/SimonHarrisTD/status/1058479472746422273 https://twitter.com/laurencekinlan/status/1058480837094727680
