Youth Unemployment Conference – Ógra Shinn Féin

Ógra Shinn Féin has announced details of their forthcoming National Youth Unemployment Conference, to be held in the Teachers Club in Dublin on Saturday the 5th of June @ 11am.

National Organiser Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire has this to say ‘The conference has at its aim to bring together various strands of opinion from the Trade unions, political parties, and youth organisations, to explore the issues surrounding youth unemployment, and to examine what needs to be done, socially, politically, and economically to combat youth unemployment.’ The speakers will include speakers from the National Youth Council, the Union of Students in Ireland, Trade Unions, political parties, elected representatives, TASC, the INOU, Youth activists, among others.

Calling for young republicans to mobilise for it he added ‘ This conference promises to be an extremely interesting and thought provoking event, and will hopefully provide an impetus for a real discussion and what we as a society need to do, both to create jobs, and to create a political alternative. It should be a fascinating event, and I would encourage anyone with an interest in the rights of young people and in progressive politics to attend.’10-11 registration/fáilte
