Introduction
The Action Plan is the second plan from the Irish Government to support children and young people’s participation in decision-making. It follows up on the Government’s promise to realise the right of children and young people to have a voice on decisions that affect their lives.
The Action plan focuses on children and young people under the age of 18, but it also includes everybody up to the age of 24. This is because of children and young people’s right to participate in decisions that affect their lives.
