New Uladh Organiser for Ógra Shinn Féin

Johnny McGibbon of Ógra Shinn Féin in Lurgan, Armagh has been apointed the organiser of Uladh Cuige of Ógra Shinn Féin. Johnny was appointed at the February meeting of Ógra Shinn Féin National Executive and he takes over from Andrea O’Kane as Uladh Organiser.



Traditionally one of Ógra’s stronger Cuigi, Johnny looks forward to the task that lies ahead,

“One of my first priorities which I will be working on will be recruitment, which indeed is ongoing within Ógra. I will be focussing in particular on recruiting more women and paying more focus on the new Irish ethnic minorities.”

“Also we in Cuige Uladh will be running with the A.R.I.S.E. (Anti Racism, Imperialism, Sectarianism, Exploitation) campaign which calls for an end to Imperialism both at home and abroad, as well as bringing and end to the destructive by products of Imperialism.”

“We also have numerous campaigns issues such as demanding and Irish Language Act in the north of Ireland, British demilitarisation and Shell to Sea. So our work really is cut out for us. But I’m confident in the activist base of Ógra to work with vigour and determination on these issues and I certainly look forward it the challenge in front of me.”
