I think we all agree that changes to the Constitution are required. Section 43 has been used to prevent the taxing of landbanking, which is one of the problems directly associated with the dysfunctional nature of the delivery of housing in Ireland. Has this Government considered coming up with a new Constitution? I know it would be a massive body of work, but somebody has to start it sometime. We probably need a new Constitution. Has the Government ever considered that?
