Sinn Féin set Freshers Precedent @ University of Ulster Belfast Campus

Sinn Féin set a precedent today by recruiting in the University of Ulster Belfast Campus on York Street.

They where the only political party in attendance and recruited extensively, continuing a very successful all Ireland fresher’s campaign, which has resulted in record levels of member applicants across all targeted campuses.


Speaking from the UUB campus, Ógra Shinn Féin spokesperson Lee Casey said,

“We where very pleased with the interest shown today in Belfast UU, and are looking forward to building on the success of freshers fayre. Many student’s where delighted for Sinn Féin to be finally establishing a presence on their campus, and shared many ideas for campaigns in the coming year.”

“The precedent has been set this year, and we look forward to building a strong republican presence in the UUB campus, ensuring that student rights are fought for and protected. The presence of Sinn Fein today and the interest shown is further evidence of the growth of the party, and the relevance it holds amongst young people and students.”
