Ógra blitz West Belfast with Several thousand N.A.R.C. leaflets


Ógra Shinn Féin undertook a large scale leaflet drop in west Belfast at the weekend. Following a meeting of the Ulster Cuige Ógra members leafleted several thousand houses on the N.A.R.C. (Not another Ravaged Community) campaign in the Andersonstown area.

Uladh organiser of Ógra Shinn Fein, Johnny McGibbon following the meeting said

“Drug and alcohol abuse present a huge problem to modern Irish society leaving behind a trail of destroyed lives and ravaged communities. Ireland has for a long time struggled with chronic levels of alcoholism, and in recent years witnessed an alarming growth in the misuse and abuse of illicit drugs.


“Through our campaign we have already had numerous engagements with drugs and alcohol awareness groups. We also have had a number of engagements with young people about how we can help to stem the rising levels of drug and alcohol abuse amongst our peers. Today’s leaflet drop was about spreading the aims of the campaign to a wider audience and with several thousand leaflets having been distributed we hope that people will hear our call for Not Another Ravaged Community”
