Successful Youth Information Day
03.11.08
NEARLY 100 young people
attended the first ever Youth Information Day in the
Plaza last Thursday.
The aim of the event was to promote the leisure
opportunities available to young people in Buncrana,
while providing them with a professional forum on
issues such as education, mental health and
drug/alcohol misuse. |

Cllr Daren Lalor said
the idea came about for the event following
discussions with a number of students and local
parents on how best to promote the leisure
activities, clubs and groups available in the
Buncrana area.
He said he was delighted with the turn-out for the
inaugural event, scheduled to coincide with the |
Halloween mid-term
break to maximise visitor numbers.
"On behalf of the Youth Information Day committee, I
would like to thank all those groups who attended
the successful information day," said Cllr Lalor.
"Equally we would thank all those parents who also
took the time out to attend and most importantly the
92 young people who took the time out to visit," he
said.
The Sinn Féin councillor also congratulated Toby
Yeoman, Michael Gomersall and Sharon Grant who were
the lucky young winners of a free door draw prize
sponsored by Tailored Mobiles. |
