Announcing Cruinni na n g 2024, Minister Martin said:

This year Cruinni na g is everywhere, and all at once! I am delighted that we have been able to launch Cruinni Late this year which is in direct response to requests from young people to provide authentic, alcohol-free spaces in which young people can perform. With this mind, I want to congratulate our partners in the local authorities who devised over 31 great events for 14-18 year olds. Also, I'm delighted that Cruinni na n g will feature events across the four corners of the island building on the inaugural all-island programming in 2023. In the spirit of the Shared Island initiative, we continue to promote cross-community creative opportunities for children young people to engage in creative activities while building new relationships and bringing communities together
