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

I think it is fair to say that many of recommendations from the various citizens' assemblies have been introduced and have been realised, but it is not a requirement that the Government or the Oireachtas necessarily accept every recommendation. We need to consider them though and that is why the first step is always to refer the report to the relevant joint Oireachtas committee to tease it out in a bit more detail. A citizens' assembly on education is the next one on the list to do. It is a programme for Government commitment. I anticipate it will be up and running in the first half of next year.
