RIR Homecoming Divisive, Insensitive and Waste of Money - May

The recent announcement that there is to be an RIR Homecoming in Enniskillen on the 20th May has angered Ógra Shinn Féin.

Ciarán May spokesperson for the republican youth movement, who is also a Sinn Féin representative for Enniskillen has criticised the event as a 'coat trailing triumphalist parade that will be divisive, insensitive in the extreme and a waste of money.'



Mr May said,
"The proposed RIR homecoming is an absolute disgrace, and will do nothing but ferment division in Enniskillen. This coat trailing exercise and triumphalist parade will be divisive, insensitive in the extreme and a waste of money. Ógra Shinn Féin has actively and continues to oppose the bloody occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, and for these people to be given heroes return from Afghanistan following their oil driven murderous exploits beggar's belief. Not to mention the RIR/UDR's record in Ireland and Fermanagh, were they were up to their necks in collusion and state murder."

"At a time of economic recession, it is also appalling that money would be wasted on such an offensive thing. Ógra Shinn Féin is opposed to this event and calls for it to be cancelled."
