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. This is a real case of young people doing it for themselves. I am delighted to work and support young people making something great happen for themselves and other young people. So if you are young, live in the Cabra area and have a talent that entertains you should start rehersing now and get yourself along to Chillax in Cabra Parkside, The Bogies on Monday 15th October @ 7.30pm to register.
