The Convention has established contact groups involving a wide range of NGOs in areas such as human rights, third world development, the environment and various social concerns. A plenary session in June 2002 was devoted to hearings on these themes. A Youth Convention, structured in the same way as the main body, took place in July 2002 and its findings were communicated to a plenary session of the Convention. Six Irish representatives were selected by the National Youth Council following a process of application and selection. At some stage the Seanad might wish to contact the young people who participated in that Convention. I am sure they would have some interesting views to put forward on how they see Europe evolving in the future.
