Roscommon
The information contained in the Planet Youth Roscommon 2020 and 2018 county reports is presented here in the Roscommon section of the website. The 2020 report contains the responses of 568 15 and 16-year-old pupils who completed their Junior Cycle in Roscommon schools in June 2020. The survey was conducted in December 2020 after their return to school and during the COVID19 pandemic. The reports give a comprehensive insight into the lives of our young people and what it’s like growing up in Roscommon at the moment. They also show cross-tabulations that examine some of the risk and protective factors in their social environment.
