People aged 16 and 17 are as civically informed as their peers aged over 18, but are “unjustly restricted”, according to Social Democrats TD Aidan Farrelly.
Today, they will table a bill seeking to reduce the voting age in Ireland from 18 to 16.
Newstalk’s Henry McKean has been asking the public for their thoughts, and joins Kieran to discuss.
