My question follows the major climate strikes by young people throughout the country, including on Merrion Square, outside Leinster House, where they addressed the House directly in saying they were not being listened to and that we were not protecting their future. Everything in the Government's strategy for children indicates that we have to hear their voices, particularly on decisions that affect them. The issue of climate change will affect them more than us. How might we increase the involvement of young people in decision making and listen to them in a way that works?
