Below are a list of the motions as passed at the 25th Young Fine Gael National Conference. These will now form part of the policy of the organisation for the next 22 months.
YFG calls on the Government to completely re-negotiate the Croke Park Agreement under s1.28 of the Agreement
YFG National Executive
YFG calls on FG to live up to its election promise and remove Irish as a compulsory subject in the Leaving Certificate.
WEXFORD YFG
YFG proposes that an incentive for young farmers be introduced by increasing the number of training places in agricultural colleges.
LAOIS YFG
YFG believes a maximum cap should be placed on benefits received from the state at a level set at the average industrial wage.
UCD YFG
Young Fine Gael strongly supports Ireland's membership of the euro and the efforts of EU Government to stabilise the eurozone, and; calls on the Government
to engage with other EU member states to implement real and lasting reform of the EU treaties and institutions to ensure that the dangerous political paralysis of the last two years can never be repeated."
ALFIE BYRNE YFG
YFG call on the government to bring forward legislation allowing gaycouples to adopt.
DCU YFG
YFG believes that it is imperative that the ECB renegotiates the current promissory note structure with the Government. It is in the best interests of the Irish economy, the ECB, the Euro and the European Union that the structure of the promissory notes system is changed. Failure to do so will create an unsustainable debt burden for Ireland, causing huge barriers to job creation and restricting growth in the Irish economy.
YFG NATIONAL EXECUTIVE
YFG proposes that the 1989 Incitement of Hatred Act be updated to include provisions relating to social media and social networking.
KILKENNY YFG
