Taoiseach and Fine Gael politicians meeting in Newbridge
Taoiseach Enda Kenny will join TDs and Senators for the annual gathering which will take place in the town today and tomorrow.
Local TD Martin Heydon will have a prominent role in proceedings as chairman of the parliamentary party.
Many of the 50 TDs and 19 Senators are expected to stay overnight tonight in the popular four-star hotel on the Curragh Road.
Security is usually tight at this event every year due to the possibility of protests taking place.
A discreet Garda presence is expected to be maintained at the Keadeen over the course of today and tomorrow with security cordons in place restricting public access.
