If you Love Ireland - Join Sinn Fein!

One of Ireland’s youngest councillor’s Johnny McGibbon has today signalled the beginning of a major recruitment drive for Sinn Féin.

In keeping with the Valentine’s Day spirit, the 21 year old elected activist is urging a simple message, ‘If you love Ireland, Join Sinn Féin.’

His words came as Ógra Shinn Féin activists distributed thousands of ‘I ♥ Ireland’ stickers across Ireland today.

The recruitment drive will also include the distribution of tens of thousands of leaflets, special public talks aimed at gaining new members and the launch of a new recruitment video.



Speaking on the major recruitment drive, Cllr McGibbon said,

“Sinn Féin is a party committed to Irish unity and equality; we are committed to representing the most marginalised and empowering communities on a needs basis. We are also internationalists and have opposed the brutal occupation of Iraq and we are the only main political party who will be rejecting the upcoming Lisbon Treaty.”

“In the year ahead Sinn Féin will be aiming to at least double our activist base. We have launched a simple initiative today around Valentine’s day, urging people, if you love Ireland, Join Sinn Féin.”


“We have also produced a new ‘Join Sinn Féin’ broadcast, which has been uploaded to YouTube and Bebo, reaching out to the thousands of online users. The message in all of this is, one determined person can make a significant difference, and a group of determined people can change the course of history. We are asking people to make a difference – Join Sinn Féin!”

D’fhógair Ionatán Mac Giobúin ceann des na comhairleoirí is óige in Éirinn tús fheachtais mhóir earcaíochta do Shinn Féin inniú.

Ar nós Lá Fhéile Vailintín, tá an gníomhaí óg tofa, 21 bliain d’aois, ag gríosadh an phobail le teachtaireacht shimplí, ‘ Má tá grá agat d’Éirinn, Bí linn i Sinn Féin’.

Dúirt sé an méid seo agus gníomhaithe Ógra Shinn Féin ag dáileadh na mílte greamathóirí ‘♥ Éire’ ar fud na hÉireann inniú.

San áireamh san fheachtas earcaíochta beidh dáileadh na mílte billeog, léachtanna poiblí dírithe ar bhaill nua a fháil agus seoladh fhíseán nua earcaíochta.

Ag labhairt ar an fheachtas mór earcaíochta, dúirt an Cllr.Mac Giobúin,

‘tá Sinn Féin tugtha d’aontú Éireann agus comhionnanas, táimid tugtha d’ionadaíocht na daoine is mó ar an imeall in Éirinn agus pobail a chumhachtú ar bhunú a riachtanais. Is idirnáisiúnaí muid, atá in éadan ghabhaidh brúdúla na hÍaraqa agus an t-aon pháirtí polaitiúl atá ag dul in éadan an chonartha Lisbon atá ag druidim linn’

‘Sa bhliain seo romhainn tá Sinn Féin ag díriú ar líon ár ngníomhaith a mhéadú fá dhó. Sheol muid tionscnamh simplí inniú ar Lá Fhéile Vailintín ag gríosú ar dhaoine,
‘Má tá grá agat d’Éirinn, bí linn i Sinn Féin’.’

‘Rinne muid craoladh nua ‘ bí linn i Sinn Féin’ fosta, atá anois uaslódáilte ar Youtube agus Bebo, feiceálach do na mílte úsáideoirí ar líne. ‘Sé an teachtaireacht againn anseo, tig le duine aonar díograsach difear suntasach a dhéanamh, agus tig le slua daoine dhíograsacha slí na staire a athrú. Táimid ag iarradh ar dhaoine difear a dhéannamh – bí linn i Sinn Féin’
