Members of Louth Young Fine Gael with Taoiseach Enda Kenny and local TD Peter Fitzpatrick
Louth Young Fine Gael is putting the final touches to their election campaign for the candidates standing in the local and European elections next May. The branch, which was established in 2012, had a busy end to 2013 with the election of new chairman Ciarán Callan and attending the Young Fine Gael national conference that took place in Waterford. However 2014 brings a fresh new challenge as they prepare to aid candidates who begin their canvass campaigns ahead of the electoral vote, which takes place at the end of May.
The branch are hoping to be the visual youth presence and voice of Louth at these local campaigns and will be individually and as a group taking part in leaflet drops, canvass runs and social media campaigns for the local candidates. It is hoped that this type of campaign will ensure that Fine Gael has a youth voice in county Louth.
Louth Young Fine Gael is looking forward to aiding all candidates in their respective campaigns and they hope to ensure that Fine Gael and indeed Young Fine Gael, who have two members running in the next local elections in Cllr Martin Murnaghan and former LYFG Chairman John McGahon, will have a strong presence in the next Louth County Council.
Post election plans have already been put in place for the coming year as the branch hope to begin its social issue campaigns, local policy for the youth of Louth and local and national charity fundraising as part of its already very busy but exciting 2014.
If you are interested in joining the branch, Chairman Ciaran Callan invites all those interested to email louthyfg@gmail.com
