The first in a series of 19 (nineteen) pictures taken during the visit of
the then-Hon. Gerry Adams, M.P., M.L.A., President of Sinn Féin,
during his visit to Portlaw on 26th May 2006.
The visit was hosted by the
Keating-Sands Sinn Féin Cumman, Ballyduff-Portlaw,
who were simultaneously celebrating the 25th anniversary of the founding of the cumann.
