Cork Ógra Shinn Féin recently held a postcard signing asking people to register their disgust at the governments lack of action on unemployment. The postcards will soon be delivered en masse to An Taoiseach's office along with thousands more from across the country.
The action forms part of a wider campaign initiated by Sinn Féin a number of weeks ago in an attempt to curb rising youth unemployment.
Cork North-West Ógra activist Aidan Bradley commented,
"The 26 County Government has shown it is completely inept in dealing with the current unemployment crisis and we call on them to immediately implement Sinn Féin's latest job creation proposals which would take at least 50000 people under the age of 25 off the dole."
"Among Sinn Féin's proposals are the creation of a youth jobs fund to create 20000 jobs, the creation of 10000 community employment places, 5000 free ECDL places, 2000 places on a 'one more language scheme' as well as the initiation of a national entrepreneurship programme.”
