752. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the position regarding the referendum on the right to housing as set out in the Programme for Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19544/21]
View answerThe commitments in relation to Constitutional reform in the Programme for Government provide for the holding of a referendum on housing.
My Department has begun the initial work on scoping the complex issues involved and will in due course make recommendations on how we might progress such a referendum. I intend to consult with my colleagues in Government as to the proposal that should be put to the electorate and the appropriate timeframes that should apply to the process.
