GALWAY YOUTHREACH TURNS AWAY 15 TEENAGERS

Date Published: 03-Feb-2011

15 teenagers have been referred for education places at Youthreach Galway in the city, but the organisation has no spaces for them.

Figures obtained by Councillor Derek Nolan reveal that the service for out-of-work-teens, turned away 44 young people last September.

Councillor Nolan claims that Youthreach Galway, based at the Liosban business park, has no place to offer 15 referrals so far this year.

He says it’s vital that people who want to return to education get the chance.
