Strabane Ógra Shinn Fein’s colour party will lead a Hungerstrike Commemorative march in Omagh on Sunday 8th October. The march will take place in Strathroy at 1.30pm and will be one of a series of events in the Omagh area held by West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Fein during their weekend long demilitarisation weekend.
Other events during the Omagh weekend include a women in struggle event and DVD showing, A Youth panel discussion on the 1981 Hunger Strike, a Republican Tour of West Tyrone, and a Demilitarisation protest at the Omagh British Army base bidding slan abhaile to the British army and also calling for the full demilitarisation of the British war machine in Ireland.
Speaking ahead of the weekend Strabane Ógra Shinn Fein Chairperson Sean Mac Giolla Easpaig said,
“We are proud to be asked to lead a commemoration to the 10 men who died in 1981. Given that this weekend will also be the West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Fein Slan Abhaile, there will be a large number of young people at the event and it is only right that young republicans are given the opportunity to lead a commemoration for the 1981 martyrs!”
