Dublin South West TD calls for change to add ‘right to housing’ into law

The video discusses a bill aimed at establishing the right to decent, affordable housing. It addresses the government's use of the constitution as an excuse to avoid implementing rent controls and eviction bans. The bill proposes inserting a right to housing in the constitution, obligating the government to take action against homelessness and high rent costs. It emphasizes that while a referendum alone won't solve these issues, it empowers citizens to demand their housing rights and supports the push for policies to tackle the housing crisis.

What impact would the bill have on the percentage of income spent on rent?

In what way does the text suggest that a referendum could empower individuals regarding housing rights?
