Activists from Leinster Ógra Shinn Féin showed their commitment to the Shell to Sea campaign by leafleting the crowds in O’Connell Street for the second time in recent weeks, at lunchtime on Saturday, 18 August.
Ógra will continue to support the Shell the Sea campaign, with trips to Mayo  planned as well as activities in Dublin and around the country
After the protest Ógra Shinn Féin, Leinster held a Cúige meeting where they discussed the previous month’s events which included leaflet drops, protests, banner making, trips to Belfast and Omagh and political discussions.
There were a number of items also raised at the meeting including a Leinster raffle, which will take place in the next few months, the rolling out of the National campaign ‘Moilligh Síos!’, translated as Slow Down, and the up coming College Fresher’s with Leinster Ósf focusing on Dundalk IT, Athlone IT and Maynooth.
Following the meeting Leinster organiser Eugene Garvey and Leinster chair Peadar de Bluit took a trip down to Gorey, County Wexford to meet up with a number of young republicans from Wicklow and Wexford to talk to them about setting up Ógra Cumainn in their areas.
Speaking after the meeting Peadar de Bluit the new South Leinster Ógra Co-ordinate said:
“I am inspired by the number of people at the meeting and the energy coming out of it. I have no doubt that in the week and month ahead there will be a vibrant Ógra presents in Wexford and Wicklow”
