The Tánaiste, Eamon Gilmore TD, attended the launch of the final report of ‘We the Citizens’, the independent initiative which this year tested the citizens’ assembly model of democratic engagement. The report on the activities of We the Citizens and the findings of the academic research which underpinned the initiative will be published that day. We the Citizens, funded by the Atlantic Philanthropies, was set up for a defined period from January to December 2011.
