Ógra Shinn Féin An Lorgain - AGM


John O'Dowd MLA with Ógra activists in Lurgan

Ógra Shinn Féin An Lorgain held their AGM this week, on Wednesday 20th August. Local Upper Bann MLA John O'Dowd began proceedings by addressing the cumann with a short briefing and facilitating an interesting political discussion.

The Cumman then proceeded to elect a new officer board for the year ahead, before dealing with other cumann business and discussing their plans of work for the weeks and months ahead. This includes the expansion of the NARC (Not Another Ravaged Community) campaign, leading into the new school year.

Lee Casey, newly elected Chair of the Lurgan Cumann, said

“We now look forward to building in the year ahead. We will continue to build on the work we have been doing around the NARC campaign, and to spread the Republican message to young people in the area. The spirit of Republican youth is definitely still alive in Lurgan.”

Cumann member and local Cllr. Johnny Mc Gibbon also commented,

“We want to engage with our local community in the year ahead and build on the positive work of Sinn Féin and Ógra to date. We remain committed to building and spreading the Republican message to young people, and I am looking forward to the year ahead for Ógra Shinn Féin in Upper Bann.”
