Determined Youth on a 'Giant Cause!'

If you think of North Antrim, or Indeed Ireland, then the first natural wonder that you think about is the Giant's Causeway. So where better to send a message of solidarity to the oppressed people of Lebanon from, than the stoney steps of the Giants Causeway. This was one of only a number of events held at in North Antrim this weekend.

North Antrim Ógra Shinn Féin organised a very successful, packed weekend of events recently (4-6 August).
Lebanon Solidarity from the Giant's Causeway!
