The Taoiseach's predecessor, Leo Varadkar, confirmed last August that "we should have an amendment to our Constitution to establish a right to housing". The Minister for housing promised a referendum in 2023 and yet the Taoiseach has told us now that no firm decision has been made on any referendums. I suspect this Government...
