Referral of Dublin Citizens’ Assembly report

Summary

The Seanad agrees to refer the Dublin Citizens’ Assembly report to the Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage to consider its recommendations and advise on any plebiscite on a directly elected mayor and local government structures.

I move:

That Seanad Éireann, in accordance with the Resolution of the Seanad of 23rd February, 2022, agrees that the report of the Dublin Citizens’ Assembly, copies of which were laid before Seanad Éireann on 30th December, 2022, be referred to the Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage in accordance with Standing Order 71(2)(b), to consider the recommendations contained therein and to advise on the requirement for the holding of a plebiscite to determine if Dublin should have a directly elected Mayor and local government structures, and, if so, to propose a draft wording for such a plebiscite; and that the Committee be instructed to report on these matters to Seanad Éireann by 31st December, 2023.
