I will bring Mr. O'Flynn back in a moment. That note was from the chair of the Housing Commission in correspondence to the committee.

The amendment proposed by the commission in its report would be to Article 40. The new Article 40A would contain two subarticles:

1° The State recognises that having a home is of fundamental importance to quality of life and that access to adequate housing, by facilitating the development of family, social and community relationships, promotes the common good.

2° The State therefore guarantees to every citizen a right of access to adequate housing and pledges, as far as practicable, by its laws to protect and vindicate that right.

I wanted to read that into the record.

Mr. O'Flynn wanted to come back in on that.
