“Hundreds of events are happening, and I encourage young people, their families and communities to have a look at what is available and join in with some of the great events being run by youth services, showing what is available all year round.
“I hope that through Oíche na hÓige/Youth Night, thousands of young people will get to experience youth services in their area.”
