Rural decline: 'Why not allow young people to stay in their own communities?'

January 3, 2021 7:00 am
It is integral for the future of rural Ireland that employment opportunities are created, in order to keep young people in communities. Has Covid-19 not only shed further light on rural decline, but also shown how it can be stopped?
Séamus Boland has worked in the civil society for over 40 years and, using this experience, he tells 
AgriLand that the impacts of Covid-19 will be long-lasting, especially for the vulnerable, and those in rural Ireland.
With the start of the 2020 to 2025 term of office of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), Boland, CEO of Irish Rural Link, has taken over the presidency of its Diversity Europe Group.
