The Presidential Election will take place on the 24th of October, when we will go to the polls to vote for Michael D. Higgins’ successor in Áras an Uachtaráin.

There are three names in the race to become President of Ireland so far: Former All-Ireland winning manager and player with Dublin, Jim Gavin, who is Fianna Fáil’s candidate, Independent candidate Catherine Connolly, and former Cabinet minister and Fine Gael’s presidential candidate Heather Humphreys.

Alan Morrissey was joined on Mondays Morning Focus by Heather Humphreys for more.
