SF Call On Young People To 'Lead A Peaceful Rising'
Young people "can lead a peaceful rising" at the ballot box on Friday, Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has said.
Deputy Adams was canvassing in Dublin city centre alongside Mary Lou McDonald, when he said: "This election has been a battle of ideas. The choice is between massive tax breaks for the wealthiest or fairness for everybody else. Its the golden circles versus the people. But change is possible, the marriage referendum is proof of that.
"Young people can once again be to the forefront in a peaceful rising at the ballot box. The republic should be the property of the people.
"For the first time in the history of this state there is an opportunity to elect a new, progressive government. Young people have a major role to play in that and I am appealing to them come out tomorrow and to vote for Sinn Féin and Rigth2Change candidates."
