Like said, all good things must come to an end, but #TightSpaces launch’s end was on a high note with the young people joining the @LordMayorDublin, Caroline Conroy, in a photo moment. It was such an #honour to have her in our presence.

“I end by saying you have something great to offer to the #development of this country. There’s only way to get where we want to be, it’s the spirit behind this resource,” Minister of State Joe O’Brien.
#TightSpaces
“The power of change is with young people. It is with you guys. More than ever, we need you. We need to stand together. This energy, positivity, ambition & connectivity is needed in the coming weeks & months. Let’s cherish it!,” IRC CEO Nick Henderson.
#TightSpaces
A great speech from CEO Nick Henderson of the @IrishRefugeeCo - "The power of change is with young people".
#Teachers and #youthleaders have such an important role in supporting young people to share their experiences, have their say & be change makers to make a better world 🙌
Message to young people in #DirectProvision-“I know how hard it is but don’t allow it to kill your dreams. Believe in yourself.”
#TightSpaces
“Message to leaders-We need the right politics, systems, programmes & support and this bring the greatness out and will be good for the country.”
#TightSpaces
“We realised that there was little knowledge about the system. We hope people will make use of this resource.
“The changes we need to see is an end to direct provision, meaning there would be no health problems being experienced & more access to opportunities”.
#TightSpaces
Panel discussion: Members of @ARDcentre & IRC Youth Groups shared their experiences coming up with the resource.
“There’s power in a unified voice. There was so much passion.”
