The Citizens' Assembly of Ireland

The Citizens' Assembly of Ireland is a deliberative body comprising randomly selected citizens who discuss and provide recommendations on important national issues, such as constitutional or social matters. Its goal is to ensure public perspectives inform government decisions through informed debate and evidence-based deliberations. The assembly operates independently, consults experts, and reports back with findings, fostering inclusive, transparent policymaking and strengthening democratic legitimacy. It is a modern approach to involving citizens directly in shaping the country's laws and policies.
