The weekend which is open to everyone, will include, historical tours, talks, workshops and craic agus ceol, and will see young republicans come from across Ireland. A number of international youth movements will also be in attendance.
Urging young republicans to attend the weekend of events, Nial Doran of Derry Ógra Shinn Féin said,
“It is an honour for Derry Republicans to host the National Hungerstrike Rally this year, and we intend to make it a major success and a fine tribute to our fallen comrades. The theme for this year’s march is ‘The Struggle Continues’ and it is apt that we are organising a Republican Youth Weekend, as it will be the modern day youth who are the inheritors and activists who will ensure the continuity and successful conclusion of the struggle.”
“We would urge all young republicans, across Ireland, to mobilise for Derry on the weekend. The clár contains many educational talks, tours and workshops, and we have a good social dimension to the weekend to ensure that working relationships, comradeship and ideas are built and shared. We look forward to seeing you in Derry!”

should be an educational and craic filled weekend. Id encourage as many ÓSF activists as possible to attend the Hunger-strike march so we can have as strong a presence as we had in 2006!
