We the citizens
Opp: Speak up for Ireland.
Have ya heard...
'We the citizens' is an independent national initiative that aims to empower Irish citizens and encourage them to contribute to Ireland’s decision making processes and political life. 'We the citizens' believes that this could make a massive difference to the country and really help bring about powerful change.
'We the citizens' are now inviting YOU to come along to any of the 7 events around the country and to share your views on how to make our country better.
The political scientists on the Wethecitizens team – a group of young people who also want to help their country – will be at the events to hear and take note of the messages coming from you. The views expressed will inform the agenda for the next big step; a national citizens' assembly.
The assembly will be made up of a cross-section of Irish people selected randomly. This is a model that’s been tried and tested with great success in other parts of the world. It shows that citizens are more than able to make considered and practical recommendations on political reform to their fellow-citizens and to government.
‘We the citizens’ see this as a moment which gives Irish people the chance to help renew our Republic and to contribute to new models of citizen engagement.
