The Sinn Féin young spokesperson's highlighted that the recent success of Sinn Féin in the South, and the anticipated success in the upcoming Assembly and Council Elections will strengthen Sinn Féin's hand to continue to create the changes in society necessary to bring about freedom and equality.

Ciarán May, spokesperson for Ógra Shinn Féin speaking on the event said,

"The talk was an extremely useful engagement for local young people, many of whom asked very relevant questions of things facing them in their everyday lives. This is a great initiative which Sinn Féin are rolling out across the north, engaging the public on all issues. Everything about the event was youthful, the speakers, the chairperson and the crowd. It is clear from the quality and confidence of the young people in attendance that Sinn Féin is a party of youth and they have a bright future ahead of them."
