The 8th report of the Convention on the Constitution deals with economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to housing. It raises substantial questions on the balance of rights, proper governance and resources. As stated in the Programme for Partnership Government, the intention is that it will be referred to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government for consideration. It is expected that this will happen shortly.
