Planning for Constitutional Change Bill 2026

Aimed at planning for the possibility of Irish constitutional change and eventual reunification, the measure would require the Taoiseach to publish a Green Paper setting out possible policy questions and options, after consulting widely with parties, civil society, experts and, in particular, unionist and Protestant communities. It would also set up a Citizens’ Assembly to examine the issues, and require regular reports to the Oireachtas on progress. The point is to create an official, structured public discussion before any future change.

Forty-first Amendment of the Constitution (Right to Housing) Bill 2026

The proposed constitutional change would put a right to adequate housing into the Irish Constitution, recognising that having a home is central to dignity, family life, health and full participation in society. It would require the State, as far as practicable, to protect and uphold that right for every citizen, reflecting the scale of Ireland’s housing and homelessness crisis and the view that housing should be treated as a basic human right.
