Among the hills of 'Green' Tyrone

With the summer sun at it's height in Ireland's most beautiful, not to mention most republican county, the postboxes of Tyrone are again returning to their rightful shade of Green.

In an extension of the 'Who Fears a United Ireland?' campaign, the fresh drive to green the post boxes of County Tyrone has already added dozens to the already over 100 still green from the previous campaign.

A Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin spokesperson said,

"The green post box campaign aims to highlight the folly of partition, to awaken national consciousness, to state very clearly and visibly that we live in Ireland and to of course save An Phoist a job of work when we achieve Irish Unity."

"It is a novel and artistic way of promoting the All Ireland agenda, and the overwhelming majority of people throughout Tyrone like the fact that their post boxes are green, with many local young people taking upon themselves to bring their postboxes into line with the rest of the country."
