McCartney sisters arrive at Sinn Féin Árd Fhéis

The sisters of Robert McCartney have arrived at the Sinn Féin Árd Fhéis just ten minutes before Gerry Adams was due to make his speech.

They did not speak or answer any media questions as they arrived in the RDS in Dublin.

Earlier, Sinn Féin's chairperson Mitchell McLaughlin told the conference that the only aspect of the peace process that remains in place is the IRA cessation.
