SDLP Youth Colleges Officer Peter Armstrong attended the launch. He said:
”The SDLP manifesto sets an agenda for achieving a better Ireland for our young people. It represents more employment and enterprise, affordable housing, and improving public transport and infrastructure. The SDLP can provide better government – delivering on healthcare, childcare and equality.”

“The SDLP manifesto contains many reasons why young people need to get out and vote this March 7th. A vote for the SDLP is a vote to end the political deadlock of SF/DUP politics; politics that will never agree and can never work together.

“An SDLP agenda includes opposing water charges – a double tax that we already pay for in our rates. Opposing the increase in regional rates, stopping water privatisation and the police tax that direct mis-rule ministers have lined up.

“We want to see increased cross-border trading, better deals for our farmers, for the self-employed, for rural education, agus an Acht Ghaeilge atá cuimsitheach.”

“More police away from desk jobs and onto the streets, safer communities, a Bill of Rights and more provisions for community groups and youth clubs. It’s guaranteed – when the SDLP is strong, progress always gets made. Vote for the better future that we all deserve – and let the SDLP make change happen. I urge young voters to vote SDLP on Wednesday 7th March.”
