Familiar faces: day two at Fianna Fáil's Ard Fheis

Slideshow featuring Bertie Ahern, Brian Cowen, Beverly Flynn and more.

IT WAS BILLED as a gathering to mark a period of renewal and reform but there were plenty of old faces on show at the RDS over the past two days.

The highlight of Saturday’s proceedings at Fianna Fáil’s Ard Fheis was Micheál Martin’s leader’s speech in which he offered an unequivocal apology for the mistakes the party made while in Government.

Photographers Niall Carson and Laura Hutton captured some of the behind the scenes moments that tell some of the other stories of the weekend.
