I attended a meeting of the North South Youth Forum in Drogheda on Monday. I can share the email about it later. The forum came to our town and there were about 90 young people from post-primary schools in attendance. They spoke to us about their needs. They were working with people in the North. From 24 June to 26 June, they are to have a conference at which they will have a plan. Young people from the North and South will be involved. I do not know whether Mr. Silcock is part of that but I am making him aware of it in case it is in any way helpful. It is more of the same in that it allows young people to articulate their views and plan for the future. It is about giving them a leadership role and making sure they are listened to.
