O'Rourke takes part in SF-organised women's conference

Former Fianna Fáil deputy leader has been lined up to take part in a Sinn Féin conference focussing on women in politics, it was confirmed today.

As her colleague Taoiseach Bertie Ahern continued to trade blows with Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams following the Northern Bank robbery, it emerged Senator Mary O’Rourke will take part in a conference in Newry which is being held as part of Sinn Féin’s centenary celebrations.
