Ireland's Citizen Assembly

Ireland's Citizens' Assembly is a body made up of randomly selected citizens who gather to discuss important national issues and make recommendations for the government. Established in 2016, its aim is to engage the public in decision-making processes, addressing topics like climate change and constitutional reforms. The assembly encourages informed debate, where members hear expert opinions and consider various viewpoints before voting on solutions. The government's role is to review these recommendations, which can influence policy and legislation, enhancing democratic participation and ensuring diverse perspectives are included in national discussions.
