We The Citizens Roadshow

Various Locations Nationwide from May 10th to June 14th 2011

We the Citizens is a new, national, independent initiative with a clear and simple idea. We want to show how our Republic could benefit by citizens coming together in new ways of public decision-making.
We believe this could help to renew trust in politics at this time of social and economic crisis in Ireland. It’s not just up to the politicians, it’s up to each and every one of us to make sure that change happens.
We the Citizens is funded by Atlantic Philanthropies and is endorsed by the IUA.
We’re inviting fellow citizens to come together to share views on how to make our country better.

We will be holding seven citizens’ events around Ireland in May and June and these will culminate in a national citizens’ assembly at the end of June.
