Things that need to change in Dublin

Prepare a 10 min evidence-based ppt presentation for an incoming Mayor of Dublin on the priority issues that should be addressed in the development of tourism in the city.

Background

The previous Programme for Government ‘Our Shared Future’ provided for a Citizens’ Assembly to be established to consider the type of directly elected mayor and local government structures best suited for Dublin.

The inaugural meeting of the Dublin Citizens Assembly met in April 2022. Its Final Report was launched on 27 January 2023.

The final result of its deliberations is a strong recommendation to create a powerful new Mayor of Dublin as a substantial political figure with wide-ranging powers to lead, deliver, represent and be accountable for our capital city. The Assembly have also voted to create a new vision for local government structures in Dublin that befits a modern, dynamic, and diverse European and global capital.

The Assembly has recommended that a number of powers be devolved to a directly elected Mayor of Dublin including responsibility for tourism.
