National youth policy

Summary

Keating questioned whether the lack of a published national youth policy hindered decisions and asked when one would appear. Tunney said the Government’s policy was clear and understood by those in the field, though he did not identify a published document.

Would the Minister be good enough to say whether or not the absence of a national youth policy is causing difficulties in making decisions on these matters and if so, when we might expect the publication of a national youth policy.

Comment on this

I cannot agree with the Deputy. Our policy is crystal clear and we know precisely where we are going. My speech to the members of organisations, the NYC in Castledermot a month ago, established that and was accepted by all present.

Has the Minister got a published national youth policy?

Yes. It is understood by everybody operating in that field.

That is news to me.

What is more important is that we are acting upon it.
