The weekend of the 12th to 14th of August will see young republicans from all over the country converge on Camlough in South Armagh for this year’s Hunger Strike Youth Camp.
The Hunger Strikes remain a key moment in recent Irish history and the weekend will be an excellent opportunity for young republicans come together in remembering the Hungerstrikers, and to learn more of that period in our struggle, as well as the opportunity to consider our present struggle.
It will be a weekend of discussion and debate, ceol and craic and all young republicans are encouraged to attend the event, and we are asking all party members to highlight this event to young republicans in your area, and to encourage them to attend. This is a camping type event, and activists will need tents.
There is a small registration cost of £9/€10, which covers buses, functions and other costs.
