The Laois branch of Ógra Fianna Fáil were presented with an award recently.
Laois Ógra picked up the prestigious Gobnait O Connell Award at the National Youth Conference held in the Hudson Bay Hotel.
The award is presented to the best overall Ógra unit by the party leader Micheal Martin.
This conference is the highlight of the Ógra calendar, giving members the opportunity to debate topics with each other as well as giving them the chance to meet members and public representatives from the 32 counties.
This award comes at the end of a very busy year for Laois members.
From hosting Laois-stock, which brought members from across the country to Coolrain for a weekend of socialising in July, to producing numerous policy submissions throughout the year there has been no time to rest for this group.
Laois member Jessica Canisales was also elected to the central officer board as Leinster organiser.
Meetings take place locally at least once a month, and provide an opportunity for members to discuss issues of importance to young people with Fianna Fáil’s public representatives in the area.
Membership is open to people aged between 16 and 30. For more information please contact secretary William Delaney on 087-9809898 or at laoisogra.fiannafail.com
