Young Ireland is Ireland’s policy framework for children and young people up to the age of 24 and covers the period from 2023-2028.
Young Ireland was launched by the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth Roderic O’Gorman T.D. in late 2023. Its vision is to make Ireland a country where the rights of all children and young people are fully recognised and respected.
There are five national outcomes defined in Young Ireland. These outcomes were first identified in Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures (BOBF), the policy framework which covered the period 2014-2020.
Young Ireland contains robust governance structures to hold government to account for our commitments to children and young people. These structures involve children and young people; experts and those working in this sector; policy-makers across government; and political leadership.
