Watch: Building community on minds of voters in Dublin

· RTE.ie

As the General Election campaign enters its second week, reporters Jack McCarron and Eleanor Mannion have been to one of Ireland's youngest and fastest-growing towns to find out what issues are really on the minds of voters.

Community group DP Crossroads invited us to visit them in Donabate, in north Dublin.

It's a town where almost one in three people are under the age of 19.

But the group believes there aren't enough youth services in the area to cater for the growing population and to ensure a continued sense of community.

Watch our video to hear what they have to say.
