Sinn Féin Chairperson Mitchel McLaughlin will address the No to War rally outside Hillsborough this evening. Also attending the protest will be Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD, Arthur Morgan TD and party Assembly members led by Conor Murphy MLA.

Speaking prior to the rally, Mr. McLaughlin said:

"Sinn Féin regards the engagement of US Administrations in the Irish Peace Process as positive, however we don't believe Bush is a good President, so we're here for a protest."

"This evening we will be joining people from across the country in a token protest outside Hillsborough and we might just convey our opposition to the liberation of Iraq directly to both the British Prime Minister and the US President when we meet them tomorrow."
