President Mary Mc­Aleese will leave Ireland early this week to join pious travellers from all over the world on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage.
A spokeswoman for McAleese confirmed that the president was taking part in the pilgrimage.
"It's a private holiday she's taking with some members of her family so we would not be commenting on it. Her next public engagement is on 20 April," the spokeswoman said, but could not comment on whether any security personnel were accompanying the president
The president's spokeswoman declined to comment on what point McAleese was joining the pilgrimage.
