McGuinness to address West Tyrone annual dinner

Sinn Féin chief negotiator Martin McGuinness will give the main address at this year's annual West Tyrone Dinner at the Holiday Inn in Letterkenny, County Donegal, on Saturday 29 November.

This year's dinner, the third such event organised by West Tyrone Sinn Féin, will see the first major gathering of the Sinn Féin leadership in the aftermath of this month's Assembly elections.

Among the honourees present on the night will be Gerry Adams, the Sinn Féin President, Vice President Pat Doherty, Gerry Kelly and Mitchel McLaughlin.

Also among the guests of honour will be Barry McElduff and Brian McMahon, who are standing for the party in West Tyrone for the Assembly elections.

Speaking to An Phoblacht, Pat Doherty said "people have been commenting on the night of the event, the day after the count for the Assembly elections, but the truth is that the date was settled on a year ago. So any connection with the elections was purely coincidental. This night is an annual event and it brings the whole republican family from West Tyrone and Donegal together.

"It will be a night of music and craic so anyone who wants a ticket will need to get in touch with Sinn Féin activists in the area as soon as possible as demand is high."
