Congratulations to Shauna Gilbride who was successfully elected to the Foróige National Reference panel 2019.

Shauna will be one of 64 young people who will gather together to represent the views of all members of Foróige, from Clubs to Projects to Youth Services.

Shauna and the club chairperson Kellyann Prendergast, put themselves forward for nomination and both delivered a passionate and courageous speech asking the group for their vote.
