The Taoiseach referred to the consequences of the referendum decision on the Lisbon treaty. One of those consequences was that Irish citizens do not have access to the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which would have been part of the Lisbon treaty, had it been ratified. That would have provided Irish citizens, in European law, with a right to housing. Has the Taoiseach or the Government given consideration to enshrining the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the Constitution?
