I am so proud of the young people from the Chillax Youth Cafe in Cabra who with help from Dublin City Council, Cabra Youth Services, volunteers and me are organising a talent contest for young people. The competition is open to any young person aged 10 to 21yrs. Amateurs only need apply. The Talent contest will take place on the October bank holiday weekend.
