Written answers
As I have previously publically stated, most recently at the Congress of Women's Caucuses on 10 September, I intend to bring forward proposals for the establishment of a new Citizens' Assembly to consider the issue of gender equality shortly.
I would further propose that the Assembly also examines options for comprehensive local government reform, specifically the nature and powers of a directly elected Mayor of Dublin. The Assembly would have a solely Dublin based membership for this additional topic.
The resolution approving establishment of the Assembly will be brought before both Houses of the Oireachtas for approval in due course.
