Republican Youth Weekend in London

In an unprecedented move Ógra Shinn Féin and the Wolfe Tone society will team up to host a republican weekend of events in London .

The weekend will take place on 2nd – 4th February and will include public talks, tours and social events. There will be a delegation from Ógra Shinn Féin over for the duration of the weekend. However the weekend is not exclusively for members of Ógra Shinn Féin and will be open to members of the public in England who have an interest in Irish affairs.

Ógra Shinn Féin and Wolfe Tone Society member Claire Doherty explains,

“The Weekend will be primarily held to build up solidarity with the Irish Republican struggle, but also Ógra Shinn Féin have invited us in the Wolfe Tone Society to numerous events in Ireland. So we came up with the idea of hosting a weekend for Ógra in England. Included in this weekend will be a tour of London and places of Interest to the Irish delegation."

"This will include the area where IRA Vol. Diarmuid O’Neill was murdered by Scotland Yard's tactical firearms group, SO19. There will also be numerous talks throughout the weekend including one on Bloody Sunday which National Organiser of Ógra Barry McColgan will address. We are also asking young people in England to come along and have an input to this weekend."

"If they wish to take part in the weekend you can either get in touch with myself on 07768766347 or the Wolfe Tone Society on 02084428778.”
