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

She visited St Dominic's Grammar School on the Falls Road in West Belfast, which counts former Irish president Mary McAleese among its former pupils.

In August Ms Connolly visited Belfast and was hosted by MLA Gerry Carroll.
