The 2020 Programme for Government committed to establishing four citizens' assemblies on the topics of biodiversity loss, the type of directly elected mayor and local government structures best suited for Dublin, matters relating to drugs use and the future of education. Three of these Citizens’ Assemblies were held during the term of the last government.
At this point in time, Government formation talks are still underway. It will be a matter for the incoming government to decide whether a Citizen's Assembly on the future of Education forms part of its Programme for Government.
