To make something abundantly clear: The UYN condemns, unequivocally, both the heinous stabbing and subsequent rioting and violence seen in Dublin this week. We have no patience with those who seek to subvert democratic means of change and peaceful protest. More to follow.

We are aware of the provocative remarks made by a former member of the UYN recently. These comments are far removed from the values of our organisation and we do not endorse them. The individual has since left the UYN. We are no longer affiliated with them.

The Chanting of “Up the RA” at the Feile , only serves to perpetuate the hate and abuse that young Unionists receive, further increasing the stigma. This creates a toxic-majoritarian attitude , especially towards young Unionists attempting to voice their opinion.

When we, as Unionists, look inward we are often accused of being sectarian. We simply intend to develop Unionism and its youth positively for the future. We want to help our Future leaders of Unionism to succeed and to deliver better for Northern Ireland.

To be clear, the UYN has no official position on RSE. Members are entitled to their own views and will express them accordingly. This event has actually sparked a respectful debate within the group, strengthening understanding of diverging opinions within Unionism.
