From 1981 an attempt by Fianna Fail to attract the Youth Vote.
I love the young man asking “When we come to buy a house what chance have we got?” only to be answered by none other than Ray Burke , who was an expert in the matter of housing and planning.

Gosh, it has Tom Nolan, who was briefly Minister of Labour, promising training schemes for young people to learn new skills.
Toms and some of his family owed a chocolate/sweet-factory and warehouse at Strawhall Industrial Estate, Carlow where youngsters learned to pack Easter Eggs for a pittance.
