Deputy O'Callaghan gave some examples of how we would regulate or provide a framework for a constitutional right, whether it should be symbolic or meaningful and how it would be structured. Could the witnesses give an example of what kind of case they would envisage coming before the courts where they would have a meaningful exercise of that right? Perhaps they could give one or two examples of what they see as the positive constitutional change delivering for people who are carers today?
