The Sinn Féin Ard Comhairle will today decide if it will field a candidate for the presidency.
Michael D Higgins has confirmed he is running again for a second term as President.
Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and Labour are all supporting President Michael D. Higgins' bid for a second term.
As it stands, President Higgins is the only person to have officially entered the race - although a number of independents have expressed interest.
