The young republicans targeted the local nationalist estates of Kilmacormick and Cornagrade, and as well as urging the local youth to vote for Sinn Féin, they registered any outstanding people, and also distributed recruitment leaflets.
Speaking on the youth canvass, Ógra Shinn Féin spokesperson Chris Conwell said,
”We received a very good response at the doors, and we engaged with many young people on issues that matter to them, including education, youth facilities, and proper employment. We also ensured that quite a few people where put onto the electoral register and where encouraging young people to play their part by joining Ógra Shinn Féin.”
“Enniskillen has a proud republican history, with its people playing a pivotal role in electing Bobby Sands as MP in 1981. From the response we received on Saturday, we are confident that proud legacy will be continued on June 4 when the electorate, young and old come out to vote Bairbre de Brún in even bigger numbers than before.”
