Youth not wasted on the young

A chara, – What a pleasure it’s been throughout the summer to meet the young people working in our hospitality industry, our shops and markets. I want to wish them well as they return to school, college or their chosen career. Their skills, good humour and openness are a joy to behold. They should be proud of their contribution to the lives of all they come in contact with, and I hope life is good to them. – Yours, etc,

CLAIRE CAFFREY,
