Réada Cronin (Kildare North, Sinn Fein)

I did my own thing because I always believed in a united Ireland as well.

This is my last point and we have to take it very seriously. We are currently in a world of political extremism where young people can be easily sucked into a world view that is built on misinformation and deception. Young people who use the Internet a lot are particularly susceptible to this world view but I really believe that we can inspire young people to engage in the world around them by showing them their voice is as important as ours. Not only that, but they will have a genuine say in what they think the world should look at in the next few years. As the old saying goes, mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí.
