About this listen

It was announced today that the voting age is to be lowered to 16 in the UK by the next general election.

16 and 17-year-olds will be able to vote in all elections as part of changes, including easier voter registration and a crackdown on foreign interference.

Recently, the National Youth Council of Ireland released a statement for the voting age to be lowered to 16 in Ireland. They believe that young people should have a greater say in decisions and actions that affect them and their community.

To discuss this further, Kieran is joined by Political Commentator and former Sky News Political Editor and Bríd Smith, former People Before Profit TD.
