Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Referendum on Right to Housing: Discussion

Professor Gerard Whyte:

I am not an expert on housing policy. I can tell the Senator what the courts might do around it and, as I said, they would use the reasonableness standard. However, the onus will fall back on the Oireachtas and the Executive to come up with an appropriate proposal to vindicate the right.
