Hi John,
 
I hope you're keeping well.

Yesterday, we launched "State of our young nation: A report into the lives of Irish 18-29-year-olds". Conducted by IPSOS B&A, the research addresses the impact that accommodation difficulties, financial strain, and low mental well-being are having on young people in Ireland today. 

Below you'll find some of the coverage of the report in case you missed it, along with your reminder of all of the different opportunities, updates, and events happening in NYCI over the next few months.

All the best,

Sarah
