On Tuesday 9 October, Ógra Shinn Féin activists joined a protest organised by ACHT on the steps of Stormont opposing the anti-Irish racist motion that was submitted by David McNarry of the UUP.
McNarry proposed a motion that would have banned the use of the Irish Language in the Northern Assembly.
Speaking on the protest Eunan Carlin said,
“Today’s protest sent a strong message that this draconian motion and the racist, anti Irish sentiments are completely unacceptable and will be resisted.”
“It was heartening to see that the motion was defeated, and we must now continue the campaign to ensure that an Irish Language Act for the North is introduced.”
