Taoiseach to attend Youth Employment Conference in Paris
Taoiseach Enda Kenny today travels to Paris at the invitation of President Hollande for the Second Conference on Youth Employment in Europe. Social Protection Minister Joan Burton will also participate.
The event has been organised by President Hollande to maintain political momentum behind addressing the youth employment challenge. This will include identifying concrete actions towards implementing the Youth Guarantee agreed by the Irish Presidency in February. It follows a similar event organised by Chancellor Merkel which took place in Berlin in July.
The Taoiseach's contribution will focus on digital skills and the potential of the digital economy generally, especially following the success of the recent Web Summit held in Dublin.
