Sinn Féin members in Louth, and in particular of the
Bobby Sands cumann in Drogheda, welcomed Gerry Adams to the town
on Friday 22 February to officially open the Sinn Féin
constituency office at Rope Walk. Speaking at the launch, Louth
Sinn Féin candidate Arthur Morgan pointed out that
although Sinn Féin is the oldest political party on the
island, it attracts a youthful vibrant membership who are
demanding change. He emphasised the need for a firm local
industrial base in the face of growing unemployment levels and
called for youth facilities in the town.
