Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Government has to consider the reports of the Constitutional Convention within a six-month period and give its view and response to the claims or proposals made by the convention. In all cases where the convention recommends a change to the Constitution a referendum will be required. I answered a question from Deputy Healy earlier about public housing and the pressure on for housing at the moment. That will be the focus of a specific Cabinet meeting due for Thursday, which will deal with the construction sector. Everyone will appreciate the necessity of making an impact in this area. We will also have the debate on housing, that had been promised, in the coming weeks. It was to have taken place three weeks ago but something else intervened.
