University of Limerick Sinn Féin receive warm welcome at fresher's fayre.

The University of Limerick/Frank Ryan Cumann have claimed the fresher's fayer a success both as a recruiting event and as an invaluable experience for the future.

Speaking from Campus David O'Connor said: "This year's fayer was undoubtedly a success in so far as re-establishing a Sinn Féin presence on campus goes. With that in mind we intend to use this as a learning curve to build upon, we were surprised with the attendance at the fayer being quite high but understand that the fayer itself may not be used as the sole recruiting outlet. We feel however that as it occurs so early on in the year it proved to be a great chance to get the cumann mobilised and thinking once again as a political team after a long summer break."

"The year ahead is certainly a challenge but nonetheless one that we're all looking forward to. We have a very definitive plan of action for the year and this helps a lot, especially when it comes to self-motivation! The activism of the party on campus of around 13,000 people is invaluable and we are very proud to be in a position to fulfil this role."
