Wexford Fianna Fail senator calls for referendum on housing

There's growing momentum for the government to call a referendum on the right to housing.

People Before Profit have introduced a bill to the Dáil calling for a referendum to insert a right to a home into the constitution. A number of Fianna Fáil senators have also called for such a vote. Senator Malcolm Byrne wants it to start a move away from a reliance on the private market for housing. "Housing is a core Fianna Fail value, we don't favour a market lead approach as a party which has been followed until now. "We'd also differentiate ourselves from some of those who claim to be on the left because we support the aspiration towards home ownership."
