Ms Aoife Kelly-Desmond:

It is very important to get across to people, as Mr. Elliott says, that fear people have. The right to housing is a right for everybody, every single person in society needs housing. It is not a right that is only for a specific group of specific people. It is for everyone. Whether you are a homeowner or whatever your situation is it is a right that adds to your rights, it does not take away from them. Another important point the Deputy mentioned is around it being a balancing right. Private property rights are there. They are strong and they are not going anywhere. They will continue to be there to protect the interests of people who are concerned about their property ownership in whatever context. Getting that positive message across that the right to housing is a positive thing for society, not a negative thing for particular groups, will be really important.
