I agree with Mr. O'Flynn on the last point. Housing needs to be fixed pretty pronto for a growing number of people. However, I am cognisant of the fact that those who have been failed by successive policies are the ones who most need faith and trust to be restored in Government policy. By putting this amendment to a referendum, does he place any value on them receiving the additional trust and faith that there will be additional access, not even as an individual but if the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, for example, decided to look at an element of Government policy and found it to contravene the Constitution?
