President Michael D Higgins visits Catholic Youth Care

Today (Thursday 26th January) President Michael D Higgins visited the Catholic Youth Care Head Office, following an invitation issued by the organisation in November.

Catholic Youth Care (CYC) is the youth services agency of the Archdiocese of Dublin. CYC provides direct youth work services and also support for voluntary youth work in Dublin, Wicklow and parts of county Kildare.

Father Jim Caffrey, Director of Catholic Youth Care said, “We invited the President to visit our head office here in Arran Quay. The President passes by our office regularly in the course of his duties and we were delighted when he accepted our invitation.”

“We realise the many demands placed on the President’s time in the early stages of his presidency and are delighted that he has taken time out of his busy schedule to visit us. Visits like this are such wonderful occasions and help to boost the spirit of the organisation at the start of what is likely to be a challenging year for many.”
