Francis Noel Duffy (GP), Dublin South-West

Prior to and since the programme for Government, much discourse and dialogue has taken place in respect of securing a referendum on the right to housing. Based on a meeting of the housing committee last week, I believe wording is in progress within the Department. I note the contribution of Home for Good to the debate and its provision of legal clarity at a session of the housing committee last year. I understand the Department is also working on wording for a referendum on the public ownership of water. Both referendums are Green Party policy and I am sure other parties hold those policy positions. With these in mind, I would be grateful if the Tánaiste could provide an update on the status of these referendums and, if they have been considered, that both referendums would take place at the same time, and when that might be.
