Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

Europe Day and the European Year of Youth 2022: Engagement with Comhairle na nÓg

Mr. James O'Brien:

With regard to whether the ideas of Europe are a thing, as the Deputy put it, I personally try to recognise them as much as possible. I try to avoid conflict as much as possible. I do not know whether, generally speaking, they are as well recognised in our age group. I try to recognise them. I would not consider myself to be the most well-informed person here with regard to legislation and everything along those lines, but I try.
