Generation next has more power than it realises

YOUNG people are disengaged with politics.

A National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI) survey found only 64% of people aged 18 to 21 are registered to vote.

Only 20% of young people have ever met a local TD or councillor. There is a strong case to be made for why young people should vote. As well as being a right, voting is also a responsibility.
