Just when we thought we couldn't love our cuddly, pint-sized President any more, he goes and blows us away with yet another demonstration of his humble nature.
He and his wife Sabina rang in the new year at Gran Canaria's San Agustin Beach Club, but they didn't break the bank to get there. He's all about the budget is an Uachtaráin.
It was revealed they took a return Ryanair flight to the Canary Islands and everything along the way was bog standard.
Luckily enough for us Gift Grub were on the same flight over and had even booked into the same hotel (what are the odds?), catching all the craic along the way.
Sing-songs on the plane, takeaways, and some swimming in the communal pool. No airs or graces here lads so don't even think about questioning his expenses.
But is it all a bit of a ruse? We'll let you be the judge of that.
