"Madam President, youth unemployment in Ireland and across the EU is having serious repercussions which are not only having impacts now but will have social ramifications for years to come. Those who do manage to find some work – the so-called lucky ones – are increasingly forced to accept unpaid internships or precarious work such as zero-hour contracts. Another supposed option offered to our youth in Ireland is emigration, which, of course, is not a choice. Those who did not cause the crisis – the young – are certainly having to pay for it.
By failing to allocate the funds recommended by the ILO, the Youth Guarantee Scheme is a guarantee only on paper. Six months from its roll-out in January, even Angela Merkel had to admit that it had been a failure in truly tackling the problem. It has provided little more than nice sound bites for certain politicians who want to appear to be acting on the issue while in reality doing very little. I would like to see a full review of the Guarantee. Countries such as my own – Ireland – are using it merely as a box-ticking exercise instead of a genuine solution to a very real problem."@en1
