Dáil na nÓg

Since 2001, Ireland’s national youth parliament has been held every two years. It welcomes around 200 elected delegates from the 31 local youth councils around Ireland to discuss and vote on issues of local and national importance for young people.

Who we are

Hosted by the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, the national youth parliament, Dáil na nÓg, is made up of members aged 12 to 18 years from across Ireland. Delegates vote on issues and make a recommendation for their National Executive to work on over their two-year term. The National Executive will engage with relevant influencers, stakeholders and policy makers to ensure the views of delegates are meaningfully taken on board in government decision-making.
