Recruitment 'Sky Rockets' at Freshers Fayres

category national | miscellaneous | press release author Wednesday September 20, 2006 00:53author by Radical Student - Ógra Shinn Féinauthor email irefree at yahoo dot ieauthor phone Eugene Garvey 00353860705262 Report this post to the editors

Ógra Shinn Féin recruit hundreds in first week

The McDonagh/Farrell Ógra cumann in UCD kicked off the Ógra freshers’ recruitment campaign this week with great success.

By today, the cumann had already recruited over 120 activists, over 50 of whom are women, with 3 more days still to go. The campaign in UCD has been well supported by leadership figures, with Caitriona Ruane, Aengus O’Snodaigh and Mary-Lou McDonald all dropping out to the Belfield campus to lend a hand.

A professional looking stall and recruitment material stands out well among the crass offers of free gifts and promises of free alcohol from many of the other youth political parties, merely seeking to get names on paper.

Many of the new members are enthusiastic and eager to start working on campaigns.

Cumann member Sinéad Ní Caoláin said,

“We are having a highly successful freshers’ week this year, already we have beaten last years figures and look likely to increase that further in the coming days. We are looking forward to a very successful and active year this year, campaigning on important issues both on and off campus. We already have a number of activities planned for the cumann in the coming weeks and hope to pull off some big events during the year.”

Dundalk IT, GMIT Castlebar, Cork IT, Athlone IT and NUI Galway have also begun their freshers campaign this week and are expecting hundreds more activists to be recruited.

Anyone that wishes to join their college cumann or to lend a hand in the campaign should contact their local Ógra representative or the national colleges coordinator, Eugene Garvey on 00353860705262.

Got handed a leaflet this morning on the way in to UCD from "Eirigi" about imperialism and the way it might look at you. Is this the Ogra SFers under a different banner?

No. éirígí is not, nor has anything to do with, Ógra SF
