Young Ireland is Ireland’s policy framework for children and young people up to the age of 24, covering the period 2023-2028. Its vision is to make Ireland a country where the rights of all children and young people are fully recognised and respected. It is focused on tackling the biggest challenges that affect children and young people in Ireland today, and sets up robust structures to ensure that children and young people’s rights are foremost whenever we make decisions that affect their lives.
