An Runaí, UCC Ógra Shinn Féin
The Ógra Cumann of UCC Sinn Féin are proud to announce that they have been awarded the title of the best Political Society in UCC for the Academic year 2006/2007. We in the Martin Hurson Cumann are very proud of this achievement and we feel it shows the fact that UCC Sinn Féin are the hardest working, most dedicated and motivated political society in UCC.
Our actions during the year have involved a register to vote campaign, where we spent a week signing people up to vote and signed up over 1000 students in UCC alone. We have been active on issues such as Killer Coke, Anti-Racism, Shell to Sea, Promoting Irish Independence Day and have played a full role within the Sinn Féin party in regards the policing debate. We have also held a Republican Commemoration in UCC, complete with a Republican flute band, an event which is a totally new experience for the student population of UCC and one which we hope to carry on on a annual basis. At present we are also organising a Ógra Shinn Féin event for the end of March, which will hopefully bring all the College Cumann to a round table discussion on the role of Ógra in third level institutions and how we can make our politics as relevant as possible to the student population of this island.
We in UCC Sinn Féin are totally committed to our Republican Politics. We are committed to our goal of a 32 County Socialist Republic. We go forward in the memory of all our fallen comrades. It is from the inspirational sacrifices these people made and our belief in the Radical Politics of Sinn Féin that have led to us being so active in the promotion of Republican Politics in UCC.

The members of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, the PDs etc in UCC join so as to have something to add to their C.Vs. However most members of UCC Sinn Féin will never be able to include any of their activity on their CV due to the stigma view of Sinn Féin. However we do not do what we do for our careers or the like, we do it for a love of our politics and out of our belief in our politics, this is why UCC Sinn Féin is the most active Political Society in UCC. In winning this award UCC Sinn Féin beat the likes of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Progressive Democrats, Labour, The Socialist Party, the Politics Society and The International Relations Society.
Ógra Shinn Féin is on the rise all over the Country, and we need to keep up the work, we do not need complacency, we need to keep our radical edge and our grassroots activism. This is what makes Sinn Féin and Ógra Shinn Féin unique.
Onwards to a 32 County Socialist Republic!
