Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

The Ombudsman for Children has called on the Government to bring forward a referendum to put the right to housing in the Constitution and to address the homelessness crisis as a matter of urgency. The programme for Government commits to a referendum on housing. As we know, since 2014 the Constitutional Convention also recommended such a referendum. When will a referendum be brought forward? Will this referendum be on the right to housing?
