All five Tipperary TDs will be getting a postcard from 193 local young people this week.

They are being sent out by the National Youth Council of Ireland asking them to support extra investment in young people in Budget 2025

Martin Browne, Jackie Cahill, Alan Kelly, Michael Lowry, and Mattie McGrath will all be asked to lobby government for an additional €15 million funding for youth work.

Almost 5,000 young people have signed up to the initiative all over the county and every TD will get one from the signatories in their own constituency.

Director of policy and advocacy Kathryn Walsh says young people should not be forgotten in the Budget.
