Deputy Spokesperson on Youth Affairs Print E-mail


The wide scope of my portfolio on Youth Affairs includes encouraging youth participation in society, pressing for funding of local and national youth organisations and endeavouring to include the views of younger members of society in policy and decision making.

Specifically I am involved with proposals to make Active Citizenship a Leaving Cert subject. The subject would expand from the Junior Cert CSPE module and teach students about all aspects of politics, community and volunteerism.


I am also promoting Youth Cafes as a safe place for our next generation of leaders and am pressing Government for a funding policy on this.


If I can assist you in anyway relating to a youth project please contact me on 01 618 3830 or at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
