Young People in Politics: Recent Episodes
Odhrán Johnson
Politics in its very nature invites debate and over the last few years the youth voice has begun to have more and more of an impact on political parties and discussion. I sat down with members of some of Ireland's biggest parties to discuss why they initially got involved in politics and why they joined their respective party.
In this episode of Young People in Politics I sat down with the 22-year-old Deputy Lord Mayor of Fingal, Cllr. Daniel Whooley. We talked about everything from failing the leaving cert, to getting elected in 2019, and we even asked the question of would Mario make a good councillor.

CETA has been a controversial topic recently in the Irish political sphere with the current government seeking to ratify the Canadian/European trade agreement as soon as possible. Opposition parties have voiced concern at the lack of scrutiny the agreement has gone under and many raise issues on the grounds of labour, the environment and the controversial Investor Court System. On the Wednesday the 17th of February 2021 I sat down with 5 young political party/youth wing reps to get their party's/youth wing's position on the agreement.

After a fantastic first season we're back! and this time we're heading north to ask young people what attracted them to parties like the DUP, SDLP, UUP and so on! We'll also hopefully have interviews from members of both RISE and Solidarity given I didn't get a chance to interview them in season 1.
