Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Right to Housing: Discussion
Mr. Gavin Elliott:
It is important to point out that a stand-alone right to housing would be a huge benefit to policy and decision makers. It would give them space to operate, which may currently be constrained by the right to private property. When the Department is considering initiatives on renting, compulsory purchase or any of those issues, this kind of balancing of rights would provide a more imaginative space for policy makers to work in.
