The Programme for Government commits to establishing four Citizens’ Assemblies, on the topics of Biodiversity Loss; the type of directly elected mayor and local government structures best suited for Dublin; Matters relating to Drugs Use; and the Future of Education.
The Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use is scheduled to complete its work by the end of 2023. The Dublin Citizen’s Assembly and Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss have concluded their work, and submitted their reports and recommendations to the Oireachtas, in line with their Terms of Reference.
The establishment of the Citizens’ Assembly on the Future of Education, and the Terms of Reference for this assembly, will be considered by Government following conclusion of work by the current Assembly.
