Adam Ó Ceallaigh, the youngest candidate in Leitrim for the local elections, has been chosen to participate in the prestigious Candidates programme organised by the European Green Party.
This esteemed program is designed to cultivate skills in public speaking, policy development, and community organising among political leaders.
Adam Ó Ceallaigh, The Green Party Candidate for the Ballinamore LEA, has been selected to represent Leitrim and Ireland on this international platform, showcasing the potential and talent of local leaders in global arenas.
The programme aims to empower young politicians by providing them with invaluable training and resources to excel as community leaders.
