Tiarnach’s campaign is based on provision for young people, work experience schemes/ youth unemployment, and discounts for young people still in full time education for leisure facilities and transport.

This is a chance for young people aged 11-18 in the area to elect someone to represent their views on the local area, as well as bringing their ideas on how to improve it to Parliament.

Tiarnach, who has previously been involved with the Y0uth Forum says: “I would like to be elected for Youth Parliament because I believe that I can represent the views of my peers in matters pertaining to young people in my local area.

“I strongly believe that young people should be given a voice and the opportunity to be heard.

Voting is open online at www.youthvoteni.com – East L/Derry until Wednesday 12th February; cast your vote so your voice is heard!
