Liam Mellows Ógra Shinn Féin Weekend - Wexford

From the 8th - 10th December, Young Wexford Republicans will host a youth weekend in Gorey.

The weekend will be named in honour of the great Irish Revolutionary Liam Mellows who was leadership in another Republican Youth Movement, Na Fianna. A Lecture during the weekend will also pay tribute to a more recently deceased Revolutionary, Daithi Forde.

The events will be a mixture of political, social and cultural, with historic tours of the area, discussions on the struggle domestically and internationally, a Republican March to remember Mellows and a Social Night.

Speaking ahead of the weekend, ÓSF activist Jason Doyle said,

"This weekend is being organised by a number of young Republicans who after the anticipated success of the weekend will be formally establishing a new Ógra cumann in North Wexford."

"Wexford is traditionally a solid Republican community, dating back to the Pikemen, and young republicans are keen to build on that strong tradition by establishing a radical youth movement in the area - and we have plenty of inspiration behind us, with people like Liam Mellows and Daithi Forde to aspire too."

"As this is the inaugral Liam Mellows Ógra Shinn Féin Weekend, we would formally invite Ógra cumann from throughout Ireland to attend - we look forward to seeing you in Gorey."
