The next Fórsa Youth meet up will take place on Thursday 22nd January in Galway, followed by a meeting on Friday 23rd January in Fórsa’s office in Galway. The meeting will focus on Fórsa Youth motions for the biennial conference, plan the year’s schedule of events, and discuss further training for youth reps.  

In December 2025, Fórsa Youth hosted a What the Fórsa?! information night for members, new, and old, and for those who are curious about joining. The night focused on answering questions on membership, campaigns, and how to get more involved. It was also an opportunity for attendees to meet and mingle over some wine and cheese!  

The evening featured an insightful panel consisting of Fiona Dunne, director of membership training & development, Kevin Donoghue, director of campaigns and Bridget Moylan, Fórsa Youth’s own public relations officer. The panel discussed what a union is, how unions help workers, and the importance of attracting more members to strengthen the movement. There was also a focus on campaigns, with Kevin assuring members that they are very welcome to get involved with the union and with Fórsa campaigns. The event was chaired by Fórsa Youth chair Hugh McInerney, who guided the discussions and facilitated questions from the audience. 

Fórsa Youth wants to thank Fórsa HQ for hosting the night, and to the panellists for their excellent contributions. 

Fórsa Youth provides opportunities for members to become more active and engaged with the union’s mission. If you are interested in joining Fórsa Youth at a future event or getting involved in building youth membership in your workplace, please email youthsec@forsa-rep.ie.  

Join a union that wins. Join Fórsa.
