She then visited Upperchurch Drombane GAA where she was pitch side for the U15 hurling semi-final between Burgess and Lattin-Cullen.

Heather said: "It was great to be in Tipperary and wonderful to meet the dedicated volunteers at Upperchurch Drombane GAA Club. Volunteers are the glue that holds communities together, and if elected President I will recognise and highlight the great work they do. I want to celebrate the unsung heroes all over the country.

“I am putting myself before the people on the basis that I am a centre ground, common sense, pro-European candidate.

“The Presidency is above party politics and I am asking voters to place their trust in me so that I can bring my experience to the role of President.
