Major ‘United Ireland’ Public Talk in Queen’s University – Bígí Linn!

The Sheena Campbell Cumann in Queen’s University Belfast, are hosting a major public talk on ‘Uniting Ireland – How it will happen?’ next Tuesday 16th February.

The much anticipated public talk will be held at 5.30pm in Club Room 3 in the QUB Student’s Union, and the panel will have a number of high profile speakers including Sinn Féin Vice President Mary Lou McDonald, and Sinn Féin National Chairperson Declan Kearney, who will discuss the merits of a United Ireland, and a road map to get there.

The talk will be part of Sinn Féin’s ongoing campaign for a United Ireland, with major conferences already haven taken place across the USA, a huge event planned for London on the 20th February, and Ógra Shinn Féin having launched their ‘Who fears to speak of a United Ireland?’ campaign.

The public talk, is open to absolutely everyone, and hopes to attract a diverse group of students and young people alike. However people are advised to arrive early due to a huge interest and limited seating.


Encouraging people to come along to the public talk, Queen’s student activist and candidate in the upcoming student union sabbatical elections, Grace Lynch said,

“There has been a national and international conversation re-ignited on a United Ireland, thanks to the huge efforts of Sinn Féin. The major ‘Irish Unity’ conferences taking place across the world, and now being rolled out across Ireland, are sparking a new found enthusiasm amongst young republicans and nationalists on the need to push forward the demands for Irish Unity.”

“The public talk in Queens has two excellent speakers, Declan and Mary Lou, a new generation of republican leadership who will articulate our vision for Irish Unity, and how we will get there. It will focus on many things, health, education, the economy, and a question and answer session will ensure that many other issues are teased out. This is a highly anticipated debate and there is already a huge level of interest, so my advice to anyone interested in going is to be there early. Bígí Linn.”
