Encouraging Republicans to attend, National Organiser Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire had this to say- 'This conference provides a unique opportunity to hear a wide variety of speakers on the issues related to the topic. This is part of an ongoing campaign from Sinn Féin to highlight the issue of Youth Unemployment, and this conference can help us to develop our analysis on youth unemployment and to build momentum towards creating a real political alternative. This promises to be a very worthwhile event, and I hope to see you all there.'
