Sinn Fein sell Martin McGuinness prints for €600

Sinn Fein is raising money by selling limited edition prints of former Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.

They are a portrait of Mr McGuinness by Irish artist Robert Ballagh and according to the party’s website cost €600 or £527.22.

There are only 500 prints being produced and they are signed and stamped by Mr Ballagh.

In May, hundreds of Republicans gathered in Belfast’s Europa Hotel as Robert Ballagh presented McGuinness’s  family with a portrait of their father specially commissioned for the night.

An Phoblacht said that it had “sadly been anticipated as Martin’s retirement present rather than a memorial.”

Mr McGuinness, 66, died in March.

Mr Ballagh endorsed Mr McGuinness’s campaign to become President in Ireland in 2011.
