Minister expects Housing Commission to deliver its recommendations early in new year
Tánaiste Michaél Martin has also indicated that he would like to hold a referendum on the recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality, which said a vote should take place on the parts of the Constitution recognising the role of a “woman in the home”.
“I obviously have to bring a recommendation to Cabinet colleagues [on a referendum on housing] but I’d like it to be done while I’m in a position as housing minister – but it’s not really about me,” Mr O’Brien said. In the same interview, Mr O’Brien said those who forecasted a “very significant capital underspend” in his department would be proved incorrect. He said the department would have its “capital carry-over” of 10 per cent of its budget.
