The 2019 Irish local elections will be held in all local authorities in Ireland on Friday, 24 May 2019. This is a great opportunity for all who can leverage their vote to do so, especially the younger voters! #TNÉ2019 #ElectionDay

Pleasure to meet @RobertTroyTD recently. We discussed some very interesting topics and had a great conversation! #TNÉ2019

The turnout for local elections dropped from 25.8% in 2016 to just 11.93% in 2017. Perhaps allowing U18's to vote could help with turnout numbers. #TNÉ2019 #RightsForTeens

These are currently all the countries around the world that allow U18's to vote. Should we follow in their footsteps? #TNÉ2019 #RightsForTeens

disappointing to hear confirmation from Govt that no #Referendum on #Votesat16 will take place in 2019

Welcome @fintanwarfield addressing Seanad @OireachtasNews to call for clarity on the timeline for referendum on #Votesat16 which we've long campaigned for https://t.co/7B2v0XtgvO
