Trip to University of Galway for day 2 of President's visit

The President of Ireland Michael D Higgins will be at the University of Galway later today.

It's day 2 of his trip to Galway, after he attended the 25th anniversary event of Terryland Forest Park in the city.

He planted an oak tree, and also unveiled a plaque of his poem "The Mountain" on the stump of a tree felled by Storm Éowyn.

President Higgins is expected at the University at around midday today.
