Sinn Féin greeted with enthusiasm at NUIM

Wednesday October 1st saw NUIM host their annual clubs and societies day. Sinn Féin, as always, were represented well, and accompanied by Cllr Paul Hogan, who is a current student.

The hall was filled with different political parties offering gimmicks and presents in exchange for signatures. Students were given real politics by Sinn Féin. One student asked what he'd get, and the response was the chance to create dynamic social change on the island of Ireland.


In between lectures, Ógra activist Ross Hallinan said,

“I am extremely satisfied with the wonderful response we have received in NUIM today. As well as getting a large number of names, we had students approaching us discussing policy, and generally asking us to explain why they should join Sinn Féin. A number of females signed up, and engaged in great discussion about their ideas of republicanism, and why Sinn Féin is the right choice for them.”

“This is certainly a positive development, and we in the NUIM cumann will strive this year to promote the ideals of equality and fair treatment for all, be they male female, Irish or foreign, gay or straight. I would like to mention a special word of thanks to Cllr Paul Hogan, who took time from his busy timetable to assist with the stand.”
