Current 4th Year student Kate Lynch spoke this morning at the Comhairle na n脫g AGM event.
She spoke about the work of South Dublin Comhairle na n脫g which includes its influence on the Department of Environment鈥檚 Climate Action Plan, Comhairle na n脫g’s 鈥淏IN IT TO WIN IT鈥� campaign to promote proper waste disposal in schools and their inter-agency relations with CYPSC, LCDC and the County Council.
In terms of Kate’s own work, she spoke about her involvement in the CYPSC, where she represents the Comhairle in the Economic Security and Opportunity sub-group with a focus on youth homelessness and also how she organised a Climate Action Week Event in Rathfarnham Castle Park in September, where they had an informative video (about waste disposal, part of the ‘BIN IT TO WIN IT’ campaign) that they created. This was launched by Mayor Peter Kavanagh.
Kate also wanted us to give a special mention to Jagoda Ennis, a current 6th Year at The institute and Comhairle na n脫g’s outgoing chair, for her hard work and input as well.
