Name: Niamh Spurle

Status: MYP

Constituency: Northern Ireland

--------------------------------------------------------

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

For me, the economy and education are the most important factors. Especially in Northern Ireland, a stable economy needs to develop for things like education and the health service to be improved. Education is important for the future of the country and improving access and understanding for everyone is essential.

What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency?

I think for young people top up fees for university would be the main issue. Many feel we have to pay too much for further education and top up fees should be abolished.

What do you hope to achieve during your term of office?

I hope to make a difference for people where I live. I would also like to raise awareness of disabilities like ADD and ADHD.

What is your future career ambition?

In the future I hope to go into Urban and Regional Development as a planner. I also hope to move into politics later in life.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I most admire Naomi Long of the Alliance party. She has done well in the political arena in Northern Ireland and has inspired girls in Northern Ireland to take an interest in politics and how their country is run.

If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be?

I would like them to take into consideration the views of young people and what they really want. This includes abolition of top up fees and improving knowledge of ADD and ADHD in schools and workplaces.
