of his lieutenants.
It will be the first time Mr Adams has spoken at a meeting in the town since the Omagh blast, which left 29 people dead.
Senior figures in the 32 County Sovereignty Movement -whom gardai suspect of being linked to the Real IRA but which has consistently denied that allegation - also live in the area.
There was speculation that dissident republicans would attempt to barrack Mr Adams when he addresses the crowd, but sources within the movement last night ruled out any protests.
