A public consultation seeking views on a Referendum on Housing in Ireland is open until Friday, 2 September, 2022. The consultation asks people who wish to contribute submissions to consider whether there should be a constitutional amendment and, if so, what form it should take.
The Housing Commission is encouraging as many people as possible to have their say in this consultation on a Referendum on Housing in Ireland. Members of the public, public representatives, organisations involved in housing, people working in related policy and legal areas are invited to send in submissions to assist the Commission in providing independent advice to the government on a potential constitutional amendment.
John O’Connor, Chair of the Housing Commission, said at the opening of the consultation: “I would like to use this opportunity to encourage anyone with a view to take part in this consultation. It is an important opportunity to assist us to identify the wide-ranging and critical viewpoints on a referendum on Housing.”
There are three ways to provide your views:
- By responding to the consultation, ‘Public Consultation on a Referendum on Housing’
- By emailing a submission to: ConsultHC@housingcommission.gov.ie
- By posting a submission to: Housing Commission, Custom House, Dublin 1, D01 W6X0
In anticipation that there may be a high volume of interest in this consultation process and to help the Commission to engage with the key points, respondents are encouraged to keep their submissions to a maximum of 2,500 words.
