Presidential candidate Heather Humphreys has said there is “much more that unites rather than divides” communities during a visit to a Belfast school.

Ms Humphreys, who remains in the race to succeed Michael D Higgins at Áras an Uachtaráin along with Catherine Connolly, spent the day in the Northern Ireland capital after the number of candidates shrank to two following the withdrawal of former Dublin football manager Jim Gavin.
