Youth Vote is Key in Upcoming Fermanagh By Election

Ógra Shinn Féin activists joined canvass teams in Enniskillen last Thursday, engaging the public on the upcoming Council by election in Fermanagh.

Sinn Féin will be selecting their candidate at a convention tonight Monday 11 August, in Enniskillen’s Clinton Centre, but canvass teams, including activists and supporters have been out over the past number of weeks, highlighting the importance of a good turnout for this by election, and promoting Sinn Féin’s proven track record in Fermanagh.



Leading the Ógra activist’s on the canvass, Steven McGahan said,

“We received a huge level of support at the doors in Enniskillen. People are very engaged and aware of the by election, many commenting on the bizarre DUP candidature of Arlene Foster.”

“Sinn Féin has a proven track record in Fermanagh, and has constantly been the party who have promoted youth, and been to the fore in working for youth rights in the county.”

“Ógra Shinn Féin will be mobilising activists for this important by election, organising youth canvasses, and other initiatives, where we will be encouraging the young people of Fermanagh to come out and vote for Sinn Féin.”
