The report, launched last week, captured the views and visions of almost 800 youth, on life for young people in Irish society today as well as their proposals for the future of this country.
The final report includes a major theme of equality and features - among other issues - the need for marriage equality and adoption rights for same sex couples.
Marriage Equality Chair Grainne Healy commented "Support for marriage equality has always been strong among young people, and what this consultation process and its report have shown is that young people want to see Ireland take the lead on important issues of equality. They want to build a more modern society that respects diversity and believes in equality for all."
"Now is the time for marriage equality," added Ms Healy. "Public support amongst Irish people is at 73%, many public officials have actively stated their support for the issue, and local authorities up and down the country have been voting in favour of marriage equality. The Constitutional Convention is a huge opportunity for us as a country to take the next step as a modern, democratic country and be leaders when it comes to equality for all."
