Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion
Professor Gerard Whyte:
In addition to the rights that Mr. Stanley has mentioned, there is also an explicit guarantee of the inviolability of the dwelling in Article 40(5), which would obviously remain in the Constitution, and that is an additional protection for homeowners. Therefore, this right to housing does not threaten homeowners - if anything, it enhances the protection available to them under the Constitution.
