Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Claire Mitchell:

We presume that when it comes to a more set piece citizens' assembly, which the State is more familiar with, it would be on the back of three or four years of having done micro-assemblies around the island. I suggest the issues would be drawn from the micro-assemblies. Nobody will log into this portal; ordinary people are not very interested. If there is a genealogy of these ideas, and they occur as the main set pieces of the main citizens' assembly event, that would be significant. We would be speaking about very different issues than if a random committee sat down with a list of ten things that might come up. Those issues may not come up.
