The website brings together in one site the Irish experience of using citizens’ assemblies to facilitate widespread constitutional and political reform. The genesis of this project was Ireland’s 2008/2009 financial and economic meltdown and the resulting anger over failings in the political system. A group of political scientists proposed that citizens should be brought into the heart of debates over constitutional and political reforms to improve how the representative system of democracy operates. The citizen assemblies included: The Irish Constitutional Convention (2012-2014) on marriage equality, voting age, the electoral system, voting rights for citizens abroad, blasphemy, the length of the president’s term of office, a clause in the constitution on the role of women, steps to increase the participation of women in politics and public life, parliamentary reform and Economic, Social and Cultural rights; the 2016-18 Citizen Assembly on abortion, climate change, ageing population, fixed-term parliaments, and the administration of referendums; the 2019 Citizen Assembly on gender equality.
