Clare Ógra Shinn Féin Confident for the Future

In November last year, a number of young republicans from across Clare organised themselves and formed an Ógra Shinn Féin cumann.

From their formation they have proactively campaigned on a broad range of issues, and where extremely active in opposing the Lisbon Treaty.

Clare Ógra activists have also played key roles in the development of the local Sinn Féin and neighbouring University of Limerick with Séan Hayes contesting the next local elections, and Alan Spencer chairing the college cumann.

The Ógra cumann recently met with the National Organiser of Ógra, Barry McColgan where they set out a clear recruitment and education strategy, and a desire to step up campaigning on issues relevant to Irish and particularly Clare’s youth.


Clare Ógra Shinn Féin chairperson Aishling Talty speaking, said that republicanism and Ógra Shinn Féin had a bright future in Clare,

“Clare has a strong republican history and despite only an emerging party presence in recent years, we received huge electoral backing in both the previous European and General Election. This is no doubt down to the youthful vibrancy of the party, and our fresh message of an ‘Ireland of Equals’.”

“Ógra Shinn Féin has played and will continue to play a key role in developing a republican voice in County Clare. In the time ahead we will step up recruitment, education and campaigning, to broaden our activist and support base, and with an eye to next year’s election, where we are confident of further growth.”

“Clare Ógra Shinn Féin is on the move, join with us in shaping an egalitarian and free Ireland.”
