Appointment of assessor signals improved youth work structures

A KEY position, in Government efforts to improve youth work structures, has been filled three years after being planned.

Conor Rowley is to take up the role of assessor of youth work, a position created under the 2001 Youth Work Act.

The job was to have been filled within months of the publication of the National Youth Work Development Plan by youth affairs minister Síle de Valera in August 2003.
