Letters to the Editor: Pay tribute to our young on International Youth Day

Laura Sullivan (7), Megan Buckley (8) and Holly Donnacliffe (7) celebrate International Youth Day on the Cork City Playful Culture Trail, as they explore and play at The Crawford Art Gallery, Cork. 

As International Youth Day takes place this week, I’d like to acknowledge our youth and their incredible fortitude over the last 17 months. It has been a frustrating time for all, but particularly for young people in Ireland.

Often young people feel they are left without thought and, during a pandemic where the youth are of least concern, this feeling has only been heightened.
