The commitments in relation to Constitutional reform in the Programme for Government provide for the holding of a referendum on housing.
My Department has begun the initial work on scoping the complex issues involved and will in due course make recommendations on how we might progress such a referendum. I intend to consult with my colleagues in Government as to the proposal that should be put to the electorate and the appropriate timeframes that should apply to the process.
