“What a result for Ireland. Extraordinary. Not exactly deserved on the balance of play, but that’s the hideous, wondrous beauty of this game. The Germans sulk off the pitch grumbling – they should have won this match by a distance, but for all their possession they created only one clear chance inside the penalty area (Götze in the 80th minute, well saved by Forde), and actually the Irish created two….”

The One Young World Summit kicks off tomorrow in the National Convention Centre.

We stage an annual Summit where the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGO’s, universities and other forward-thinking organisations are joined by world leaders, acting as the One Young World Counsellors.

At the Summit, delegates debate, formulate and share innovative solutions for the pressing issues the world faces.

Alternatively, more globalist scaremongering, fossil-fueled lecturing from Geldof, creepy new world order nonsense and grim selfies.

YOU decide.
