Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth
Implementation of National Youth Strategy: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Mary Cunningham:
That is a very interesting question. There is some tic-tacking with unions. In the past while, NYCI has begun conversations with unions. As regards the issue in relation to a representative body, there is definitely an appetite for it but you cannot do that unless you have resources. Everybody has really busy jobs and people will do stuff in good faith and pull things together, but in order to be able to progress, it needs to be resourced.
