Meanwhile, it'll be the turn of County Councillors to host presidential hopefuls at a special meeting tomorrow morning.

Earlier today former MMA fighter Conor McGregor pulled out of the campaign, on the day he was due to address Kildare and Dublin City councils.

He told his followers on X he'll be canvassing again in the future.
