Tuesday May 23, 2006 00:39

by Youth Community Activist! - Ógra Shinn Féin

Report this post to the editors

Young republicans from the Lurgan area engaged with local students today the 22nd May, in remembrance of the 1981 Hunger Strike. A leaflet drop at a local high school saw hundreds of students given information leaflets about the Hunger Strike and details about the developing Ógra group in the area.

Activists were met enthusiastically, with some students requesting further leaflets for friends and family.

Lurgan activists Remember with pride!

Speaking for the developing Ógra group Fergal Connolly said, “we decided on today for this action in remembrance, and to coincide, with the anniversaries of Ray McCreesh and Patsy O’Hara.”

He went on to add, “We were met with, and indeed questioned by some, with great enthusiasm. We hope we have awoken something within these students today, which can only help us build our group locally and benefit the movement as a whole.”

This was followed up by the leafleting of a local estate. Further action is planned throughout the week with another school in the area, as well as local estates and the town centre being targeted. Activists rounded off the afternoon by stopping, for a few moments of reflection. They gathered at the republican plot to remember the Hunger Strikers and all our patriot dead.
