As indicated at the end of the initial Civic Dialogue event on 2 November in Royal Hospital Kilmainham, a series of civic dialogue events on a sectoral basis are to take place.
The Government agreed on 16 November that the following All Island Sectoral Dialogues are to take place in the coming months:
- Agrifood
- Education & research
- Child protection and rights
- SME Issues
- Tourism & hospitality
- Energy
- Welfare rights & mobility
- Transport & logistics
These events will be led by the relevant Minister(s) and will take place in a variety of locations across the country. None of the events organised to date are scheduled to be held in NI. This list above is not exhaustive - further events and consultations will continue to be organised as are needed.
A second plenary of the All-Island Civic Dialogue will take place in the New Year. This plenary will build on the sectoral discussions that will have taken place by then.
