Ahern to give Wolfe Tone oration

The Taoiseach is due to give the annual Fianna Fáil Wolfe Tone oration in Bodenstown cemetery in County Kildare today.

In previous years Bertie Ahern has used the speech to make important pronouncements on the North and on Ireland's relationship with Britain.

A large number of Government Ministers, as well as senior figures from Fianna Fáil, will be in attendance at the event.
