Ógra Shinn Féin’s biggest event of the year, the National Congress, will take place from November 2 – 4 in Dublin. The venue for this year’s Congress will be the ATGWU Hall on Middle Abbey Street and the clár will include a leadership speech, address from international comrades, launch of a new revolutionary film, as well as the usual debate and workshops.

This year’s National Congress is expected to attract a large crowd considering the emergence of new Ógra cumann over the previous year and as a result the Congress will be spanned over 3 days.

Registration and motions for the National Congress must be completed and sent to osfnational_secretary@yahoo.ie or 4 – 5 James Street Omagh, County Tyrone for Saturday 1st September. Although consideration will be given to new College cumann, for all other cumann, late submissions will not be accepted.

National Organiser of Ógra Shinn Féin, Barry McColgan said,

“We would urge Ógra Shinn Féin cumann and activists to start mobilising for the National Congress now. It is an opportunity to discuss and debate the way forward for the coming year, to develop plans of work, to foster relationships with our international comrades and to build comradeship amongst the national organisation.”

“An informed, debating and active youth is essential for the future of our struggle. The National Congress provides a forum to build on that, delivering a platform from which young republicans can discuss strategy and develop action plans for the future.”
