New South Antrim SFRY Cumann!

Young Sinn Féin members from across South Antrim have come together to establish a Sinn Féin Republican Youth Committee in their area.

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!’
