Pictured from left to right are Leon Meade, Rhona Clarke and Brian Mahon, just before they jumped solo from 10,000 feet at Clonbologue, County Kildare, on Saturday 24 April to raise funds for Tallaght Sinn Féin's (Markievicz Cumann) local election fund. Less brave/foolhardy republicans in Tallaght with their feet closer to the ground are more than grateful for the plunging fundraising effort, which they say will go along way towards fighting a successful campaign.
