Conference on the Future of Europe: Ireland’s National Report

This report seeks to provide an overview of Ireland’s engagement with the Conference on the Future of Europe. The Conference on the Future of Europe was a European Union wide participative democracy exercise that offered citizens across Europe the opportunity to put forward their views about the type of EU they wished to see develop in the years ahead.

This report captures the perspectives and overarching recommendations advanced by a diverse cross-section of people across Ireland within a yearlong nationwide programme of 70 plus events that ran from June 2021 to March 2022.

The programme’s flagship engagement saw the Department of the Foreign Affairs work in close collaboration with European Movement Ireland to facilitate a series of regional and sectoral consultations that included a set of town halls in all four provinces.
