At their first meeting they decided to name the cumann after
United Irishman Roddy McCorley. Roddy McCorley participated in the 1798 Irish
Rebellion in Antrim and has provided inspiration to many young republicans in
the years that followed. He was executed in 1800 at Toome Bridge.
Mary Kate Quinn, a member of this new cumann, said ‘We are
excited about the fact that a group of young, like minded people have come
together to further and develop Sinn Féin’s youth structures in County Antrim.
We are looking forward to the summer during which we plan to organise a few
actions and campaigns. All new members are welcome to attend our meeting!’
