Sinn Féin Engage with Students

Sinn Féin candidate for South Belfast, Alex Maskey and MEP Bairbre De Brun visited Queens Uiversity last week. They were joined by members of the Sheena Campbell Cumann as they handed out leaflets and walked around the Students Union canvassing for the election.


The visit generated plenty of interest with large numbers of people engaging with the elected representatives.

Spokeman for the Queens Cumann Eunan Carlin commented,

"Todays response was very positive. It provided a chance for the public and particlularly young people to hear what the politicians had to say about issues effecting them on a daily basis and what they hope to do about it when in power."

"If today's response is echoed at the polls then the hard work ógra have been doing in the run up to the elections will have been very worthwhile."
