Republicans deliver water to over 300 Pomeroy homes

Pomeroy republicans seized the initiative today (Thursday 30th December) as they distributed water to over 300 local homes that have been without water for 4 days.

Sinn Féin and Ógra Shinn Féin activists spent the day delivering water with the aid of a water tanker, particularly focussing on elderly residents and those who didn't have transport to access water at a local pick up point.



Speaking on the important community action, Pomeroy Ógra activist Marie Claire Devlin said,

"At these times of need, when many are without life’s essentials, including heat and water, we must play our part in providing for the elderly, and vulnerable in our community."

"The measure of any strong community is helping each other out at times like this, and the actions of the Sinn Féin and Ógra activists in Pomeroy today has helped build that community spirit and provided many with essential water which they otherwise would have been without."
