Sinn Féin to stage Dublin rally following success in North

Following its success in the North's assembly poll, Sinn Féin will formally launch its campaign for the upcoming general election in Dublin tonight.

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams and the party's candidate for Deputy First Minister in the North, Martin McGuinness, are due to address a rally of supporters in the capital.

They'll be joined by some of their newly-elected MLAs as well as Sinn Féin Dublin candidates running for seats in the Dáil.
