Ógra Shinn Féin Chair, Fintan Warfield said: “This is the largest gathering of young republicans on the island of Ireland.

“It will take place in the Gasyard Centre in the Bogside on Saturday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to coincide with the Chieftain’s Walk in memory of Martin McGuinness.

“The theme this year is ‘Rights & Equality’ - we feel this is fitting given the current political situation in the north where people are being denied language rights, marriage equality and access to coroners inquests. This year is also significant as we approach the referendum on the repeal of the 8th amendment.”
