***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***

The Republican Socialist Youth Movement have again uncovered the attempts of the British army to recruit young Irish nationalist youth into the ranks of their imperialist army with the view of normalising their rule on these shores and spreading their misery to those of other sovereign nations. Material recruiting for the British Royal Air Force and Army has been distributed in a number of Derry schools, including those in nationalist working class areas.

Derry Republican Socialist Youth Movement spokesperson Ciaran Boyle commented “The fact that British army are recruiting at St. Peter’s school in the Creggan speaks volumes of the process of normalisation of British occupation occurring in our country.

“The British army, who have fallen short of their recruitment targets are eager to recruit nationalist working class youth here into their army to fill the void created in their own country. They cannot change the nature of their occupation of Ireland, which has always been to hold the natives down.

“We are calling upon all schools to remove this material and to cease acting as mercenaries and collaborators for an alien and foreign government. We intend to raise the issue with the six county Commissioner for Children and Young People to see how the issue can be advanced in the constitutional regard.”
