In June this year, Government referred the report of the 2022 Dublin Citizens’ Assembly to the Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

The Committee was asked to consider the recommendations contained in the report, and to advise on whether to hold plebiscite to determine if Dublin should have a directly-elected Mayor and local government structures as recommended, and if so, the wording for such a plebiscite.

The Committee has been requested to issue a detailed response to the report by the end of 2023.

The report and recommendations are also under consideration in my Department with a view to preparing a comprehensive response for Government’s consideration, informed by the work of the Committee, in due course.
