The republican youth movement Ógra Shinn Féin have launched a new national website. The website is in addition to the growing number of platforms that Ógra have opened up in the past year, including their blogspot, local websites, Glor na nÓg and Spark.
As well as keeping activists and supporters updated of daily republican youth news and views, the website will be used to recruit new members, and inform people of upcoming events.
National Organiser of Ógra Shinn Féin, Barry McColgan said,
"Rollo May once wrote, 'Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.' and through the new website and the increased communication it will bring, we wish to create a tighter sense of community between Ógra activists and supporters."
"With increased recruitment and activity in the past year we have launched this new website in order to improve communication. This is an excellent start to the website, but it will of course be added to in the time ahead."
"Ógra Shinn Féin has opened up this new website due to the increased use of the blogspot which now has hundreds of visitors everyday viewing the daily updated news, opinion pieces and events notices."
"The internet is the future of communication and we wish to use the website to ensure improved cohesion in Ógra Shinn Féin, and to promote the uncensored voice of republican youth."

Yeah, but OSF is now part of the party of the government of occupation. Whether or not you disagree with the SF policy of supporting the occupation, you are supporting it by staying put as part of SF.
$inn Fein seem now to be more comfortable in the company of the DUP and British Minsters than they do in the company of the Republican/ Nationalist people. McGuinness is rapidly becoming proof that Paisley has finally 'House-trained' Republicans especially with his statements praising the greatest bigot Ireland has ever known, while at the same time comparing those who threw the pipe bomb in Strabane to the Japanese who fought on in the jungle 10 years after the war was over.
He had the appearance of an errant schoolboy who was eager to show his master that he had mended his ways...An insult to the Hunger Strikers, so brazenly hijacked by Ogra.'
By the way I thought that the attack on Strabane station was pathetic and out dated but I wouldn't use it as an excuse to please those who still occupy our country.
I agree, I think that McGuinness came across as being truely pathetic.
Indeed he is pathetic and in comparing the dissidents to Japanese soldiers post Nagasaki he has implicitly delivered the surrender of mainstream republicanism as the only comparator left for them is those Japanese that capitulated- what a ninny.
Turn on your brain before you turn on your mouth McGuinness....
I would like to thank Ogra Sinn Fein for showing their support at yesterdays Love Tara March, A BIG THANKYOU FROM ALL AT TARAWATCH!
