Ógra Shinn Féin An Lorgain Engaging With Students

Ógra Shinn Féin An Lorgain have continued their programme of engaging with students this week, as they entered St Michael’s School in Lurgan to talk with A Level students. Ógra in Lurgan have offered this programme to schools in the area over the last year and is seen as positive by all involved.

Chairperson of Ógra An Lorgain, Lee Casey commented,

“We offer students the opportunity to talk to young people involved in politics. We go into the classroom, present who we are and what we represent, and then throw it open for the students to ask us, or discuss, whatever they want.”

The events allow students the opportunity to talk to young republicans face to face, and discuss issues of interest to them.

“I feel these are worthwhile events as they give both the students a chance to engage with political activists, and ourselves the chance to engage with students on the issues that matter to them.”

“It is crucial that political parties allow and encourage young people to make their voices heard. Sinn Féin and Ógra will continue our efforts to promote this.”
