Ó Cuív resignation set to dominate FF ard fheis

The departure of Éamon Ó Cuív as deputy leader of Fianna Fáil is expected to be the main talking point at the party's ard fheis, which gets underway in Dublin's RDS this evening.

As many as 3,000 grassroots members are expected at this ard fheis, the first for the party in more than three years, and the first with Micheál Martin in charge.
