The Voices of Youth Constitutional Convention Event for Young People

The Constitutional Convention for Young People brought together 66 Young People from across Ireland to discuss possible amendments to the Constitution. The day provided young people with an opportunity to have their voices heard in the Constitutional Convention process that had been initiated by the Oireachtas. Tom Arnold, the chair of the official Constitutional Convention process attended on the day and heard from young people.

The results of the Youth Constitutional Convention went along with the official report to the Taoiseach.

The Consititutional Convention for young people was planned and implemented by the young people of Voices of Youth with the support of Youth Work Ireland and assistance from the Children s Rights Alliance.
