Questions on Promised Legislation

In 2014, the Constitutional Convention recommended by a margin of 80% that the Government should enshrine the right to housing in the Constitution. A commitment in this regard was included in last year's programme for Government. I am sure the Tánaiste is aware that the Dáil Committee on Housing and Homelessness has also made a recommendation on this issue. Will the Government commit to the introduction of legislation to give effect to the overwhelming majority view of the Constitutional Convention that the right to housing should be enshrined in the Constitution?
