On Friday 26th, Ógra Shinn Féin sent a delegation across to London to take part in the 8th Annual Inter-Isles Forum.

This years Forum theme was on Faith and State. Ógra’s discussion document, which proposed the complete separation between Faith and State, was the view shared by a majority of the other parties present.

Although the theme of the weekend was on Faith and State, there was a wide range of discussion outside of the main events. Topics ranging from alternate fuel sources, to the break up of the Union and everything in between were brought up at different points.

Speaking afterwards, Ógra delegate Ian Breslin said,

"It was a fantastic opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues with a wide range of parties from several countries. The chance to discuss issues with parties from such a broad political spectrum rarely arises, and the chance to do it with such a spectrum from other countries is even rarer".

The weekend was educational and enjoyed by all present and Ógra looks forward to sending a delegation to the next Inter-Isles forum in Wales.

Very inciteful and interesting discussion paper. Faith and state should be completely separate.
