Under the Programme for Government, the Government is committed to establishing a Citizens’ Assembly to consider the type of directly elected mayor and local government structures best suited for Dublin, in 2021.

There are a number of other Citizens Assemblies proposed in the Programme for Government . The current Citizens’ Assembly on gender equality has been adapting its method of citizen engagement to ensure compliance with Public Health guidelines in light of Covid-19. How this progresses will have implications and learnings for the operation of future Citizens' Assemblies, including the Citizens' Assembly to bring a directly elected mayor to Dublin.
