Creating Our Future was the first of its kind public engagement dialogue to be undertaken in Ireland. The 18,062 submissions from the public represent a unique and previously unavailable snapshot of the public’s concerns and priorities across a broad spectrum of issues. As such, they have significance as a source of insight for policy, decision-making, and research in multiple arenas. All 18,062 ideas collected during the public engagement phase of the Creating Our Future campaign were considered by an independent Expert Committee and are available in this dataset.
