Recruitment of 99 members of the public to serve on the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality is now reaching its final stages.
Amárach Research is currently recruiting members for the Assembly across the Munster region, including in Limerick City and County.
Catherine Day, who will chair the Assembly said: “Our gender affects every aspect of our daily lives. The Citizens’ Assembly will be an exciting opportunity for citizens from different parts of Ireland and all walks of life to make their views known on a wide range of issues. No special knowledge is required.
“We want to hear what people really think and my role will be to ensure that all points of view are heard in a respectful and open atmosphere. That is why I encourage anyone who is approached as part of the random selection process to consider joining us.” she added.
Amárach Research is calling door to door in search of the right candidates who must be registered to vote and representative of demographic variables as reflected in the Census including age, gender, social class and regional spread.
Politicians, officers in political parties, journalists, employees of polling companies and members of advocacy groups active in the area of gender equality are not eligible to serve on the Assembly.
