Limerick teens launch campaign for youth cafe

TEENAGERS in a Limerick suburb have launched a campaign to get a youth cafe.

Students at the local secondary school, Castletroy College, surveyed residents in the area and found that 91% support the idea and of those, 81% pledged annual donations to help the cafe pay its way. Over the summer holiday months, more detailed plans will be drawn up and presented to Limerick County Council.

Local community activist Trish Forde-Brennan has encouraged the students to press ahead with their campaign to get a youth cafe.
