"All stakeholders involved in this report noted a need for the provision of more funding for local youth groups who are particularly impacted by grave challenges posed by disinformation"

@EoghanKennyTD @labour And please don’t forget youth and the youth work aspect of the portfolio- youth work offers young people the spaces & opportunities to build relationships, explore their identity, develop skills & increase their confidence @nycinews

Youth workers play a vital role in supporting young people through pivotal years of their lives. It's great to have such a passionate youth worker and advocate for young people in the Dáil @Aidan_Farrelly_ #youthworkchangeslives @nycinews

Youth work offers young people the spaces & opportunities to build relationships, explore their identity, develop skills & increase their confidence. Thanks to @orourke_darren for raising Youth work national policy in the Dáil yesterday during statements #youthworkchangeslives

Cavan Monaghan has 10 oireachtas members- 5 TDs and now 5 Senators. Throw in a junior Minister amongst the ranks and we have high hopes for everything being done for the constituency 😂😂

Nevermind “come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff”, it’s “come on all ye electricians to Ballyjamesduff” and fix the poles in this forest behind my house!

With Helen McEntee TD named as the new Minister for the reconfigured Department of Education and Youth, this is an opportune time to get involved in the @nycinews Policy and Advocacy Forum. See:

“positive step, but it must be accompanied by real investment and support for the youth work sector. Over the next five years, we will hold the Government to account to ensure that young people and youth work remain at the heart of national policy”

Looking forward to working with Minister @HMcEntee with @nycinews in the time ahead

Dear political journalists and others: if Dept of Education is now to include Youth, please don’t reduce its significance and importance by shortening it to just Education. Don’t undermine youth work or young people by doing such a disservice #YouthWorkChangesLives

Thrilled to have a dedicated senior Minister for youth retained in Cabinet and more so that it will be with Education. Really looking forward to working with @HMcEntee in her new role

RT @gavreilly: Helen McEntee to become Minister for Education and Youth

Won't someone think of the blowdries, new dresses and suits out for the day and the announcements that are quickly loosing their bounce and getting wrinkly #governmentformation

If Fianna Fáil use this tactic while simultaneously omitting “youth” from a Department and senior Ministry, it will once again reinforce tokenism and lip service when it comes to young people

If @fiannafailparty @MichealMartinTD & @FineGael @SimonHarrisTD are serious about "securing Ireland's future", let's hope they have not taken "Youth" from a Departmental title and from senior Ministerial responsibility

Given @FineGael didnt mention youth work in their manifesto, why then were the commitments in the @fiannafailparty manifesto on youth work significantly watered down in the PfG? Who is opposed to funding youth work in Government? #youthworkchangeslives @nycinews
