Ógra Shinn Féin attends Youth Exclusion seminar

category antrim | miscellaneous | press release author Monday August 07, 2006 20:05author by Colleen - Ógra Shinn Féin Report this post to the editors

An Ógra Shinn Féin delegation attended a youth exclusion seminar in St. Mary’s University in Belfast on Thursday 3rd August. ‘Generation X’ looked at a number of issues affected the youth today. It was attended by a number of young people and a large number of people working within the youth sector.

The purpose of the conference was to begin to trigger a debate and discussionon how working class communities can begin to effectively tackle the whole issue of youth exclusion and participation.
Generation X - Youth Exclusion - Finding The Solution!
Generation X - Youth Exclusion - Finding The Solution!

The ultimate aim of the seminar and wider programme of Participatory democracy programme is to identify and implement a coordinated strategy to tackle youth exclusion.

After attending the seminar spokesperson for the Ógra Shinn Féin delegation, Barry McNally said, “The whole issue of youth exclusion is not a problem associated exclusively with today’s generation youth- it goes back a lot longer than that.Such schemes such as the Participatory democracy programme, currently being rolled out in West Belfast is one method of tackling the issue of youth exclusion. Such programs in other countries, such as Sweden, who work with the age bracket of 4-18 years old, are working. Some suggestions coming from the young people in Sweden were formulated into legislation and so this is one progressive initiative in order to combat youth exclusion."

"Also Government investment both from the London and Dublin governments is also needed in order to help communities to combat the issue of youth exclusion along with involvement from the young people themselves."

I hope that this seminar on youth exclusion examined the forcible exclusion of young people from nationalist areas of Northern Ireland by Sinn Fein/IRA because of their perceived anti-social behaviour. I hope it also examined the punishment beatings, kneecappings etc. carried out by the same terrorist thugs on youths after an IRA kangoroo court. Somehow I doubt it. Yet OSF have the hard neck to post a thread like this. What a bunch of hypocrites Sinn Fein/IRA are.

No platform for terrorist revisionists.

I think "Memory Man" has been absorbing too much Rupert Murdoch-type media.

Like throughout Ireland - Ógra Shinn Féin represents young republicans in my area.

Keep up the good work Ógra!

Agreed, I think memory man is a fan of the Sunday Indo, Ireland on Sunday etc. Or a member of Fine Gael or the PDs/IBEC. Get off the web and get back to the stocks and shares, the FT index is down!

What good work? Sure the thugs are running rampant in our areas, terrorising people and destroying property. People are now living in greater fear than they were when the Brits and Loyalists terrorised our areas.

Ogra are mini $inn Feigners full of talk and meetings that amount to nothing.

What are ye on about? What do you mean by 'youth exclusion', who is excluding the youth and why are they excluding them? There's not much detail in this article.

I wish people could speak plainly and not use such general terms such as 'youth exclusion' without giving examples (excluded from what, why and by whom?). I mean just writing that a spokesperson attended a seminar on 'youth exclusion' isn't exactly enlightening or interesting. Please describe incidents of 'youth exclusion' and the causes and effects of it and please give a more detailed informative summary of the findings and conclusions of the seminar and how financial aid would help the 'excluded youth'.

I mean, I'm none the wiser from reading the report than I was before I read it. The majority Ógra Shinn Féin's articles need an injection of imagination and detail, they are consistently vague and make every event they attend or action they do uninteresting to readers.

I await the predictable insulting replies.

Ádh mór oraibh!

West Brit or Orange Bastard. Never mind, I'm sure you'll make up for it soon.
The reason that I respond to threads by IRA groupies like OSF, and the reason that I use the name Memory Man should be fairly obvious at this stage.
A conscious attempt is being made to portray OSF and it's big brother Sinn Fein as nothing more than caring, community-based organisations who attend seminars on things like "youth exclusion". In reality, they are the political mouthpieces of their parent organisation the IRA, an organisation which has a habit of permanently "excluding" people it doesn't like.
They would like us to forget about the atrocities carried out be the IRA. I don't, hence the name Memory Man.

Memory man seems to have forgotten that the IRA no longer exists. Sure weren't they stood down by The $inn Feign leadership, cast aside like worn out clothes that no longer fit. They have gone away you know! $F wanted to remove any excuse the the DUP would have to keep them out of Government so the IRA had to go.

So now $inn Feign are like any other Political Party, even out doing the others with their hypocrisy. At least the others don't use the dead to rally support.

gone very far away unfortunately. They will be back when Sinn Fein's much heralded (by them anyway) electoral gains don't materialise in forthcoming elections. Sinn Fein have nothing else to offer when the threat of IRA violence has been removed. They are no different than the Green Party, when their guns have been temporarily de-commissioned.

BTW, I would be disgusted if I was an ex provo too.
