Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Young Voices on the Constitutional Future of the Island of Ireland: Discussion (30 Sep 2022)

Victor Boyhan: I will be brief. First, it is marvellous that we have these youth voices before the committee. We have spoken about minority voices in Northern Ireland.
