Aisling Nig Ruairc is a shining example of how young people can be influential leaders in their own clubs and communities.Įmpowered by her experience of taking part in the Dermot Earley Youth Leadership Initiative (DEYLI), she is using the tools she developed there to address what is a huge issue for underage camogie and ladies football teams up and down the country – the high drop-out rate of players.
