Ógra puts the fizz into
launch night
20.08.08
THE INISHOWEN branch of
Ógra Fianna Fáil will hold its official launch night
with a champagne reception, barbecue and DJ on
Friday, August 29.
Tickets are still available for the event which will
be held in the Mill Restaurant, Tullyarvan,
Buncrana.
Ógra is the largest and most active youth political
organisation with over 6,000 members around the
country.
Co-founder and secretary of Inishowen Ógra, Kevin
Kelly said he hoped the local branch would encourage
the active involvement of young people in the
political process.
“There is also a huge social aspect to Ógra, as
events such as this show. In fact, some people might
say that the social aspect is more important than
the active political role which each member plays,
yet it is a side of political life that often goes
unnoticed by the general public.
"Ógra allows like-minded young people to get
together and get involved in a bit of craic and
political discussion, while also attempting to
change the community around them for the better.” |

The event will be
attended by both local and national Fianna Fáil
representatives, including Inishowen Senator Cecilia
Keaveney. It promises to be a great night’s
entertainment, with the post-barbeque music being
provided by D.J. Liam McGrath.
Cathaoirleach and co-founder Carol Faulkner added:
“Ógra provides young people with a forum to discuss
issues which are important to them in a friendly and
welcoming environment, with other young people. It
also provides young people with a way to get
involved in |
|
the Fianna Fáil party
from actively canvassing and leafleting for Fianna
Fáil candidates to simply raising issues and
supporting the party." For tickets please contact
Kevin or Carol on 086 8047115 or 087 6172947
respectively. Doors open 8pm. |
