Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion
Steven Matthews (Wicklow, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
I have one minute left. Our primary concern here is homelessness and the provision of housing. If this right is put into the Constitution, could it go further in terms of adequate housing, in areas such as universal housing design, adaptability, future use etc.? Could it be called on that it is in the Constitution that we provide adequate housing and housing of an adequate size where we are looking at the average occupancy rates of houses now dropping, so that going forward, planning permissions or applications have to meet adequate design standards?
