Listen Back: Cavan teen highlights lack of funding ahead of budget 25

The National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI), which represents organisations working with young people nationwide, recently held a special event bringing young people face to face with members of the Oireachtas to discuss funding for youth services.

Taking place at Buswells Hotel in Dublin, the young advocates were able to speak directly to key decision makers ahead of Budget 2025.

Aoibhe Beatty from Mullahoran represents the Cavan-Monaghan constituency. Jodie Curran spoke with Aoibhe about the event and how she first got involved with the National Youth Council of Ireland.
