Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth
Young People and the Built Environment: Carlow Educate Together
Mr. Mark O'Brien:
Adults do not tend to listen to the opinions of young people, discount them or pat them on the head and tell them they are doing a good job without valuing what they say, but I think they have a huge contribution to make to the way we do things both from the perspectives of the school and broader society. I congratulate the children primarily for seeing this project through to the end because it was a pretty long project. We met in the evenings in school and the children put a lot of time and effort into preparing presentations and doing the work online. I am very proud of them and as a bunch they did a great job.
