sicNotes live-blogs the Ard Fheis

The tenacious Richard Delevan is live-blogging the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis. Bravo! He opens with a brief report on Martin McGuinness’ speech and notes that “the media were kept outside the auditorium for an extra hour. Speculation is that some remarks were made during the opening ceremony that we weren’t meant to hear”.. hmmm. His second blog notes that by the time Gerry Kelly had finished his speech, “Half the media had already gone home.” Update That may be live-ish, but still.. Bravo!
