The talk is being organised to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Na Fianna Éireann, the first republican youth organisation, to explore the important role that young people have always played in the republican struggle whether in Na Fianna or today in Ógra Shinn Féin.
The public talk is being held in Warrenpoint town hall at 7pm and will include a talk from former Republican POW Declan Murphy, an Ógra speaker and a DVD showing.
The night will continue with an Irish night in nearby Rostrevor, with the Armagh Bandits playing upstairs in Fiddlers Inn. Doors Open at 9.30pm and Taille is £3.
Noreen Rodgers, chairperson for Padraig Pearse Ógra Shinn Féin said,
“2009 is a massive year in the republican youth calendar, marking 100 years since the formation of that key organisation, Na Fianna Éireann. They proved the ingenuity and selflessness of republican youth time and again, and it is right that we fittingly commemorate their role throughout this landmark year.”
“The talk will focus on the major role that young people have played in every phase of our struggle, and in many cases where the engine for momentum and change, we want to instil the same ethos in the youth of today, that it is up to them, to continue on that proud tradition, and be the inheritors of the republic.”
“We would encourage everyone to come along; all are welcome to this informative public talk and to the Irish night afterwards. It will be a brilliant night, and will be a small part in the year long celebration of that proud republican youth legacy.”
