Irish Unity: I dTreo Phoblacht Nua – Towards a New Republic

Within the next month, 2 major events will take place on the theme of Irish reunification in Dublin and Cork. The conferences, entitled 'Towards a New Republic – I dtreo Phoblacht Nua', aim at attracting a broad section of society to discussing this crucial topic in a full and comprehensive manner.

Ógra Shinn Féin believe it is of utmost important that young people have an input into this crucial debate and sowe are encouraging all young people, republican or otherwise, to come along and contribute in a meaningful and constructive way to the theme as outlined above.


The first conference takes place on Saturday June 18th in the Rotunda Pillar Room Complex, Parnell Square, Dublin 1 - beginning at 10am.

The second will happen a week later on Saturday June 25th in City Council Concert Hall, Cork - beginning at 7.30pm.

Speakers addressing the issue of 'Building the All-Ireland Economy' in Dublin will include Dr John Bradley (former research professor at the ERSI and adviser to the Europen Commission and World Bank), Dr Padraic White (former head of IDA and chairperson of the Employers' Service Board, West Belfast and Greater Shankill), Pearse Doherty TD (Sinn Fein spokesperson on finance) and Michael Darcy (Economic and Business consultant). Other subjects for discussion include Equality and Children and Catholic Protestant and Dissenter. Among the speakers for these sessions are Dave Adams (former member of UDA), Mary Lou McDonald TD, and Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD.

Creideann Ógra Shinn Féin go bhfuil gear-ghá ann do dhíospóireacht chuimsitheach ar aontú na hÉireann agus is deis ollmhór na comhdhálacha seo an díospóireacht sin a fháil. Dá bhrí sin speagfadh muid daoine óga ar fad freastal orthu chun a gcuid tuaraimí a nochtadh agus ceisteanna a chur ar dhaoine éagsúla. Bígí linn don ócáid fíor-thábhachtach seo. Glac do pháirt le Éire Aontaithe Úr Nua a thógáil.
