Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am always willing to consider legislative proposals or proposals to amend our Constitution but we always need to be careful that we understand what the consequences will be and how they will work. For example, if somebody as a consequence of that found their land was significantly devalued, would the taxpayer have to pay compensation?

All of those types of things would have to be considered. Would it only apply to land that gets owned in the future? Would it only be prospective and, therefore, would not have an effect or be of any value for many years ahead? Those are the kinds of issues that would have to be teased out. The wording would need to be known and there would need to be a full consideration as to how it might be interpreted by the courts and what the unintended consequences might be.
