TIONSCANADH ÓIGE DHROIM BHRÍDE

Fáilte romhaibh uilig go ‘Club 25’ eagraithe ag Tionscanadh Óige Dhroim Bríde
Drumbreda Youth Project was established in the summer of 2006 by a number of young adults from the Drumbreda and St Brigids Hill area. The idea behind the Project is to ensure that young people have a say in shaping the future of our area. While we have contacts with the local community group, we retain our independent identity as a voice for the youth in the estate.

We are currently raising funds for the Project by running a series of nights in association with Gildernews, we would like to thank all those who have attended these events, and we hope for their continued support for upcoming events. The funds will go towards the creation of a new entrance feature on our estate which will commemorate all those who have given their lives in the cause of Irish freedom and particularly the memory of the ten Irish hunger strikers who were murdered by the Thatcher regime 25 years ago this year.

Drumbreda Youth Project would like to thank Ógra Sinn Féin for their help and assistance in organising this event and all those who have helped with the publicity and administration. We would also like to thank Gildernews for their continuing support.

Chair of Ogra Shinn Féin in Armagh, Damian White said,
“It is encouraging to see so many young people turn out to support what is a youth project of community development, the activism shown should be an inspiration to other estates to develop active youth projects, Ogra Shinn Féin would help and support other projects in the town that will help to remember and educate the youth for a new generation”.

Keep a watch out for future events being held throughout 2007, particularly the official unveiling of the memorial in the summer of next year.

Go raibh mile agaibh go léir agus bainigí sult as an oíche seo. Beirigí bua! Beidh ár lá linn!

Community led Socialism is what will lead us to the Socialist Republic - Armagh Ógra are leading the way. The arm chair cynical theorists need to get of their asses and join a community assoc, or start a project like this! No excuses - get active!

As Fidel said,

"We will judged not by what we say we are, but what we prove we are, by our actions, by our conduct!'

Communities ARISE!
