Mayor of Galway, Councillor Niall McNelis is to launch a book written by the young people of Ireland at NUI Galway this afternoon (13/10)
The book, called 'Dear President', is a compilation of letters and poems written by young people across the country to the office of the president.
The aim of the book is to give those who cannot vote a chance to have their voices heard.
The young people outline what life is like as a young person in Ireland, their dreams for a future Ireland, and how they would like the President to represent them.
The launch will take place at NUI Galway this afternoon at 12pm where a selection of the letters will be recited.
