A civic forum: the case for a second chamber in Northern Ireland

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Northern Ireland Women's Coalition, in their document dated 24 February 1998, advocates for the establishment of a bicameral system [two separate political entities] in Northern Ireland, proposing a Second Chamber known as the Civic Forum. This forum aims to complement the Northern Ireland Assembly by representing a diverse range of interests and facilitating broader public engagement in the democratic process. The Coalition emphasizes the need for inclusivity, gender balance, and representation from various sectors such as culture, youth, industry, labor, community, and administration. The Civic Forum would undertake consultative, monitoring, and representational roles, working alongside the Assembly and other intergovernmental bodies to ensure a stable and sustainable political settlement.
