The action packed weekend, which is open to everyone, will include a number of talks with ex-prisoners and MLA's, a demilitarisation protest at Ballykinler British Army Barracks, a youth debate and a historical tour, tracing local republican history including narrow water.
Urging maximum attendance, Newcastle Ógra Shinn Féin chairperson Fra Cochrane said,
“The Newcastle Republican Youth Weekend is a first for this newly formed cumann. The weekend will include both educational and social events, and we would urge all interested youth from across the 32 counties to come along and join in the debate and craic.”
“Throughout the weekend we will have an opportunity hear how the prison struggle, compares and contrasts to our modern struggle, and to learn from the vast experience of our former political prisoners.”
“Newcastle Ógra Shinn Féin are delighted to be organising this republican youth event, and we look forward to hosting our traveling comrades and engaging with the young people of Down.”
Bígí Linn!
