Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is proposed to bring a memo to Cabinet to establish this citizens' assembly before the end of the year and to allow it to do its work in 2019. I can confirm that the citizens will all be from Dublin city and county and not from the surrounding counties. It is not intended that the directly elected Dublin mayor will have jurisdiction over parts of Meath, Kildare or Wicklow. I am happy to reassure people of that.

It may be the case, however, that all the 100 people may not be just citizens. There may be a case made for including on the assembly a certain number of councillors or Oireachtas Members from Dublin. This would follow the model of the constitutional convention rather than the Citizens' Assembly.
