Written answers

I have proposed that a Dublin Citizens’ Assembly be specifically convened to consider the issue of directly elected mayors for Dublin and the form that this should take. This would be part of a comprehensive local Government Reform report brought to Government by the Minister of State with responsibility for Local Government, Deputy John Paul Phelan.

Work is currently underway in my Department to bring forward proposals to establish a Dublin Citizens’ Assembly and I expect this to come before Government shortly.
