The civic group, Second Republic, who have been involved in campaigning for a Citizens’ Assembly for Political Reform, will hold their second AGM in Dublin on Saturday week.Time: 10:00-13:00 and 14:00-16:30 Date: Saturday, 3 March Venue: Odessa Club, 14 Dame Court, Dublin 2.
The AGM will happen very shortly after the Government will have announced the draft proposal for a Constitutional Convention. The group have already published their own proposal and briefed members of the Oireacthas on it (see http://www.2nd-republic.ie/proposal). The final agenda for the AGM will be published shortly but items that are expected to be on it include agreeing a broad campaign strategy in light of the Government’s proposal and whether the group should campaign for five key areas of reform. Attendance at either session is optional and advance registration is not required. For further information, contact info@2nd-republic.ie.
Irish Politics Forum 
We in 2nd Republic are underwhelmed by the way the Constitutional Convention has been publicised to date.
Regarding our AGM on March the 3rd. The afternoon is an open session and will be of a more general nature where key reform ideas will be identified and the Constitutional Convention will also be discussed.
For further views from 2nd Republic see our article “Politicians can’t fix Ireland – ordinary people must take the lead.”
