Last Saturday Dublin Ógra Shinn Féin organised an action to highlight the problem of youth emigration from Ireland. Currently we are witnessing the highest levels of emigration that this generation has ever experienced. Every young person has a family member or friend who has emigrated and there is no doubt that many more of the country's youth are considering seeking employment abroad. Dublin Ógra took it upon themselves to highlight the waste of our greatest natural resource, our youth. Their protest involved writing the names of those who have emigrated in chalk on O'Connell Street. The action received a great response from the public with many helping to add the names of their own loved ones to the list.
