In an Historical first, the Belfast based Republican Youth group the Mairead Farrell Republican Youth Committee held it's AGM in Belfast City Hall.

The event, held on Tuesday 6 November, was a poignant affair.

Since the group's first AGM last year one it's founders and most enthusiastic members Ryan Brady died and his passing was marked with a minute silence.

The Republican youth group is clearly going from strength to strength as up to 50 people attended the meeting with a number of new members swelling it's ranks.

Delegates outlined the work of the committee which included a number of high profile projects, not least the groups anti-G8 camp staged on the site of the old Andersonstown Barracks in West Belfast.

Just two weeks ago a delegation from the republican youth group travelled to the Basque country where they met with members of the Basque national youth committee SEGI.

The newly elected committee saw Eoin McShane re-elected as chair; Cliodhna Nic Bhranair, vice- chair, Bronagh Bradley, secretary; Deccy Lawlor, treasurer and Aodhan Hamill as PRO.
