Dr. Gráinne Healy:

It is not just about priority but that there are several options as to how this might happen. A citizens' assembly would determine what people are looking for in order to get some direction from an informed evidence base. If there are five different ways of reaching universality, what is the public's preference, what would it look like and what would the stepped approach be? That would give us a real sense of priorities. That is the thinking behind this idea.
