Galway West TD Catherine Connolly is to make her Presidential campaign pitch at a Labour Party meeting today.
According to the Irish Independent, the party will go into a consultation process following the Independent TD's presentation at 4:30 this afternoon at Leinster House.
Last week, the Social Democrats national executive voted to support Deputy Connolly's bid, who also has the backing of People Before Profit and a number of Independents.
To get a name on the ballot paper any prospective candidate needs the support of 20 Oireachtas members.
