President Michael D Higgins is set to release an album of poetry later this year.
The spoken word album, called 'Against All Certainty', will feature 10 original poems, set to music from Myles O’Reilly.
The album was recorded in Áras an Uachtaráin and will be put out by Claddagh Records.
President Higgins has published four books of poetry. This will be his first recorded project in the spoken word.
Those behind the project said listeners can expect to "find themselves fully transposed into the incredibly interesting life and times of the poet before he became Ireland’s President, from childhood to adulthood".
A series of videos will also be released as part of the project, which, among things, will depict the "hardship of the President’s" early life.
'Against All Certainty' will be available in a number of formats, including CD and vinyl.
It will be released on 5 September.
