Ógra build for Hunger Strike Weekend


Ógra have announced the first details of the National Hunger Strike Youth Weekend. This years weekend is to take place in South Armagh and will remember those who gave their lives for the Republican cause 30 years ago this summer.

The weekend will take place between the 12th and the 14th August. It is set to be a great weekend with a lively mixture of political debate, ceol agus craic, historical tours, and the National Hunger Strike Commemoration.

Encouraging Ógra activists to attend, National Organiser Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire said
"This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Hunger Strikes. As young republicans it is only fitting that we remember their sacrifice through Republican activism of our own. This weekend will be a highlight in the calender of Ógra."

Book your place for the now @osf.ie. Make sure to honour the memory of the hunger strikers on this special weekend.
