What do we do?

Comhairli na nÓg are local youth councils, which give children and young people the opportunity to be involved in the development of local services and policies. It provides the youth of South Dublin County with an opportunity to identify and discuss matters which affect their daily lives, and is a place for young people to pass on their views and concerns to decision-makers in both local and national government. South Dublin County Comhairle na nÓg was selected as one of three projects to be evaluated as examples of best practice that other Comhairlí across the country can emulate.

As members of Comhairle na nÓg we represent the young people living in South Dublin County. Each member of Comhairle na nÓg was elected through their Student Council or Youth Organisation to represents one of five electoral areas of South Dublin County.
