In her inaugural speech, she said she looked forward to her “first official visit to the north” and referenced Article 3 of the Irish constitution, which sets out the firm wish of the Irish people for a united Ireland under consent.

The visit will commence with a meeting with First Minister Michelle O’Neill and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly at Stormont Castle.

The President will later deliver an address at the Ulster University Campus in North Belfast at 1.30pm.
