Youth Broadcast for Fermanagh By-Election

Ogra Shinn Fein have produced a youth election broadcast for the upcoming by election in Enniskillen on Wednesday 17 September.

The youth electon broadcast urges young people from the relevant electoral ward to come out and vote for Sinn Fein’s candidate Debbie Coyle and visualises the advances that Sinn Fein have made in recent times.

It also includeds a number of short interviews with Mary Lou McDonald MEP and Fermanagh/South Tyrone MP Michelle Gildernew.

And it traces the strong legacy of republican candidates being elected in Fermanagh, most notably, the election of Bobby Sands MP, whilst on Hungerstrike in 1981.




Urging young people to watch the youth election broadcast and to vote Sinn Fein, National Organiser of Ogra Shinn Fein, Barry McColgan, said,

“Sinn Fein have a proven track record in promoting young people, representing their views and demanding increased funding and resourcing for youth projects and facilities.”

“Sinn Fein is committed to achieving Irish unity, building an egalitarian society and ensuring young people are placed at the centre and have a part to play in all of this.”

“We are encouraging the young people of Enniskillen to vote for our candidate Debbie Coyle, to assist in further increasing our mandate, so that we can move forward strengthened and more determined to achieve our programme of change both in Fermanagh and Ireland.”

I must say, even in a comradely way, that MaryLou didn't sound that convincing in that video interview, too faux and seemed to be reading blank platitudes. Must be worn out after her good Lisbon performance.

I hope Debbie does well in this election, as regardless of video performance she does have the interests of Enniskillen in the fore of her mind.

This is a key election for us, every Ógra cumann and activist should put their shoulder to the wheel for this. Lets wipe the smile of Fosters face.
