Have your Say – Call for Evidence

""

The Northern Ireland Assembly is looking for the publics views and experience when Committees are examining laws or seeking evidence as part of an inquiry – the name of this process is ‘Call for Evidence’.

All ‘Call for Evidence’ consultations, along with any other Assembly consultations such as equality or youth, can be found on the Assembly’ Citizen Space website. This site will help you find and participate in the work of the Committees that interest you.
