Last night we held the first session of our second PLDP cohort!

We discussed the fundamentals of politics and policy in Northern Ireland as well as the topics and issues that inspire them. It is great to be back with a whole new group of dedicated young policy leaders.

After 25 years, how is devolution going in Northern Ireland? It's a mixed bag overall, with plenty more work to be done.
