Presidential candidates Heather Humphreys and Catherine Connolly have clashed in the latest debate of the campaign.
Both candidates spoke about what the themes of their Presidency would be and whether they would come into conflict with the Government if elected.
The candidates also clashed over whether it was appropriate for Catherine Connolly to hire a woman convicted of firearms offences at the Special Criminal Court to her Dáil staff. The two candidates clashed over the Special Criminal Court with Heather Humphreys saying she supported it and Catherine Connolly calling for its abolition.
Speaking during the debate on Newstalk's Pat Kenny Show, Ms Humphreys pointed to her opponent employing somebody convicted at the Special Criminal Court of gun crime. Heather Humphreys said there are still questions for the Independent candidate to answer.
