The Fine Gael presidential candidate Heather Humphreys will launch her national campaign at an event in Co Monaghan this morning.
It is understood that the idea of working with communities and reaching out the hand of friendship will be key features of her campaign.
The former cabinet minister has chosen the Peace Campus in Monaghan town as the venue to launch her campaign for the presidency.
The Peace Campus is a shared space for people in the border region to address issues of separation and division.
Ms Humphreys believes this reflects her vision for the presidency: including working with communities, bringing people together, building bridges and reaching out the hand of friendship.
While she has conducted some radio interviews since securing the Fine Gael nomination earlier this month, today marks the beginning of her national campaign for the Áras.
