It's World Children's Day, and a number of inspirational young people have spoken at a 'Ted Talks' style event at City Hall in Dublin to mark the occasion.
'Child Talks' - a collaboration between the Ombusdman for Children's office and 15 other youth organisations, including UNICEF, the National Youth Council of Ireland and the Children's Rights Alliance - was broadcast live on Facebook.
From coming out as gay, to losing a parent and being a young Trans person in Ireland, seven young people told their personal stories.
