Duo off to global youth forum

Two students from Cork and Kerry will take part in a conference in South Africa next week which will be attended by celebrities including Bob Geldof and former UN Kofi Annan.

Ethan Lawlor, 18, from Skibbereen, and Grace Earley, 21, from Tralee, will be attending the One Young World (OYW) Forum where they will be urging world leaders to address youth unemployment.

Grace, who is pursuing European studies at UL, has worked for years in Kerry promoting good mental health amongst young people.
