Ógra Shinn Féin continues to grow with yet another cumann established within Cuige Uladh. The North West Donegal cumann was officially launched on Saturday the 3rd of March at the Caoimhín Mac Brádaigh commemoration.
Caoimhín was killed along with two other nationalists by a loyalist attacker at Milltown Cemetery on the 16th March 1988. This atrocious attack happened while family and mourners attended the funeral of the Gibaraltar three when a loyalist gunman shot indiscriminately into the crowd.
Ógra played a leading role in the commemoration, at which they where commended by poll topping TD Pearce Doherty.
Speaking on the establishment of the new cumann, Donegal spokesperson Fintan Butler said:
“There has never been a more exciting time to be involved in Sinn Fein. Throughout the last number of weeks we have presented a clear, coherent and grounded alternative to the failings of the Fianna Fail/ Green government and because of this we were able to come away with 14 TDs in the general election. The high from this victory defiantly contributed to the formation of the cumann, with 10s of young people seeking to join Sinn Féin.
Ógra will play a key role in the Donegal area in the time ahead as Sinn Féin continues to be the only real opposition to the Fine Gail Labour collation”.
From the launch the cumann have already met to discuss key issues, plan a program of work and elect an officer board.
