The candidates in the Presidential Election are canvassing in counties Donegal and Kerry.
Independent candidate Catherine Connolly will be in Co Donegal, where she will visit Donegal town, Killybegs, An Clochán Liath and Ardara.
Ms Connolly is backed by a coalition of left-wing parties, including Sinn Féin.
Sinn Féin's finance spokesperson and local TD Pearse Doherty is expected to canvas with her during her visit to his constituency.
Fine Gael’s candidate Heather Humphreys and Fianna Fáil’s Jim Gavin are canvassing in Kerry.
Both Ms Humphreys and Mr Gavin will attend the Listowel Races in the afternoon.
Mr Gavin will also canvas in the Tralee area before visiting the Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco Park, where he will speak with journalists.
Speaking on Radio Kerry, Ms Humphreys said her campaign is "going well," and said she has been meeting and talking to people and is getting the chance to outline to them her "vision" for the presidency.
She said that if elected president, she would "put a strong focus on community" and also said she would seek to unite people.
Ms Humphreys said community is close to her heart and it is "so important" that volunteers be recognised.
"I've seen them across the country, they are the people who hold our community together, you see them in the GAA, you see them in the Tidy Towns, the Men Sheds, the Women Sheds, the youth clubs, they're all out working in their development associations, they're doing so much for this country," she said.
Ms Humphreys encouraged them to "keep going" and said they should never be taken "for granted," and she wants to support them in every way that I can".
She added that the first role of the President is to "protect and respect the Constitution," and that if elected, it will be her priority.
Ms Humphreys said the Irish electorate are "very well informed".
"Because they know the Presidential campaign is different, it's about the person and it's not about policies," she said.
Speaking in Tralee, Jim Gavin said countries on the border with Russia, including Ukraine, need to "look after their own welfare".
Mr Gavin said there is an understanding of why those countries might be "investing in their defence and their protection".
Mr Gavin said from an Irish perspective, "the Defence Commission has looked at the Irish Defence Forces in terms of investment".
"We can keep our seas safe and keep our peacekeeping roles up to speed," he said.
Mr Gavin has said he does not want to get involved in a "tit-tat" with another candidate but said "Europe needs to defend itself".
"From my perspective, the European Union has been very clear in terms of the conflict of Russia," he said.
"It needs to stop. European countries need to be able to defend themselves."
Mr Gavin said the European Union has been set up to promote democracy and to promote peace.
He again ruled out a voting pact with Ms Humphreys.
"I am canvassing for myself Jim Gavin, I am not a politician. I am presenting myself, as raw as it is, to the Irish people.
"I have done a close to four decades of service to this state and very proud of that, he said.
Mr Gavin said he is asking people to "give Jim your number one".
