Four thousand Fianna Fáíl members gather in Dublin for 74th Ard Fheis

Around 4,000 Fianna Fáil members are gathering in Dublin this evening for the opening of the party's annual Ard Fheis.

The party's 74th Ard Fheis is taking place as opinion polls show support for the party is on the rise following their dismal performance in the last general election.
