Freshers 2009 - Join Sinn Féin

A short film has been produced for Freshers 2009 as a recruitment aid, before, during and after the freshers fayres.

The film traces Irish republican's views and ideals on education and how educated young people and students have been a dynamic engine of change in Ireland.

It traces the important role played by young republican students like Kevin Barry, Frank Ryan, James Sheridan, Mairead Farrell, and Sheena Campbell, and how their spirit continues in the Sinn Féin college cumann across Ireland today.



It also looks at the Civil Rights movement, which 40 years ago, was sparked by the student's of Queen's University, Belfast, many of whom had benefited from the introduction of free education through the welfare state.

We would encourage everyone to watch the video and to PASS ON to all contacts, especially anyone you know who is at, or going to University this year, encouraging them to join their campus cumann at freshers.

Go raibh maith agat!
