Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Youth Issues: Discussion with Comhairle na nÓg
10:40 am
Mr. Gerard Maguire:
Deputy Fitzpatrick is more than welcome to come along to our next meeting, on 3 December, and speak about mental health. It will be in the county council's premises and is to start at 7 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. The elections are held on that day also so it will be a fun meeting to attend.
At our 2011 Comhairle na nÓg AGM, mental health was the main issue, mainly because it is still a taboo subject. That was according to the feedback we received. This year, mental health arose again, and it also arose in 2010. It has arisen for three years in a row. It is obviously still a prominent issue.
