United Nations hears what matters to Irish youth

Poverty, inequality, and mental health are among the key issues for young people in Ireland.

Ireland’s UN youth delegates addressed the UN High-Level Political Forum at UN headquarters in New York yesterday.

Lauren Flanagan and Paul Dockery were speaking at Ireland’s first voluntary national review (VNR). The VNR considers Ireland’s performance against each of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). These are goals for a better world that UN leaders have agreed to achieve by 2030.
