West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin undertook a leaflet drop of the Drumquin area on Sunday 25th Nov. The action was a part of the Ógra Shinn Féin national campaign, ‘Moilligh Síos’.Members from West Tyrone leafleted various housing estates in the County Tyrone town. Ógra undertook the initiative in the run up to the festive period, which in the past has seen a rise in the number of road traffic collisions.
Speaking following the leaflets drop Michelle McMenimum of West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin said
“Road deaths are one of the biggest killers of our young people in Ireland; the level of deaths, particularly amongst the youth on Irish roads is astounding. After suicide it is the biggest killer of our young people. This in itself speaks volumes.
“Particularly in the run up to Christmas there is a need for greater vigilance whilst on the roads. It is a sad fact that over the ‘Christmas period’ there is an increase in road traffic accidents, and sadly this is also reflected on fatalities on our roads. If we are to change this sad reality we all have a responsibility.
