The Sinn Féin Ard Fheis will kick off tomorrow in Castlebar, the first time ever to be held in the west of Ireland.
Speaking before the opening of the event Sinn Féin Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh said:
“This is the first time the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis will be held in the west of Ireland. As a proud westerner I am delighted to welcome all delegates, spokespeople, Sinn Féin leadership, international guests and visitors to Castlebar for what is shaping up to be our biggest Ard Fheis yet.
“People nfrom the four corners of Ireland will start to arrive in Castlebar tomorrow afternoon with guests from South Africa, Palestine, the Basque Country and Catalonia also due to arrive.
“A debate on the Property Tax will start the proceedings tomorrow. This is an important debate to have as it is an issue that will affect thousands of hard-pressed people across the state and particularly here in the west.
“The North’s Joint First Minister Martin McGuinness will also make a keynote address tomorrow night which will be eagerly anticipated by all delegates.
“This is an exciting time for the party but particularly for those of us from the West and we are proud and honoured to host this event – the most important in the party’s political year.”
