Sinn Fein members are travelling to Derry this afternoon ahead of the party's annual Ard Fheis which begins tonight.
It's only the party's second Ard Fheis north of the border - with coalition options, 2016 and abortion set to take centre stage.
Despite criticism of the party's huge fundraising in the United States, the party is set to continue its campaign to convince voters it's a credible option for government.
