Young People Need Their Voices Heard

South Down Ógra Shinn Féin representative Fra Cochrane has said that young people must have their voices heard by getting out to vote in the upcoming European elections.

"I would encourage the young people of South Down to get out an cast their vote in the upcoming election, making sure that they have a voice and a say in the issues that matter to them.”


"Whilst I can appreciate that many young people may feel disillusioned with politics, especially on a European level, I would stress that their are many key decisions taken in the european parliament which will affect them. Whether it’s tackling environmental damage, reducing pollution of waterways, addictions, immigration, poverty and social exclusion or ensuring our food is properly labelled, there are issues which are of concern to us all."

"Sinn Féin are the party of the future and a party for the young people. With an active youth wing in Ógra Shinn Féin and campaigning on issues which affect the youth of today. I would encourage young people to increase our mandate and give us a stronger voice to represent the youth by voting Sinn Féin."

No word of Irish Freedom Fra. Who would have thought properly labelled food would come ahead of the Fredom struggle.

Only messing.

Good Statement Fra-Ógra can play a key role in getting young people out to vote in this election!!
