Listen "#451 Should Housing Be a constitutional Right?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Niall dives into one of the most heated discussions in Ireland today: Should the Constitution be changed to guarantee every citizen the right to housing?Broadcasting live, Niall opens the lines to callers from across the country—and the opinions couldn't be more divided.Some callers strongly support the idea:“Housing should be a basic right, not a privilege,” says Mary from Galway. “People are living in tents while buildings lie empty. It’s time the government was held accountable.”Others warn of unintended consequences:“If you write this into the Constitution, you’re opening the floodgates,” argues Declan in Dublin. “It’ll lead to endless legal battles and strain public finances even more.”And some are torn:“I believe everyone deserves a home, but I’m not sure a constitutional change is the best way to fix a broken system,” admits Aoife from Cork.Through respectful debate, passionate views, and tough questions, Niall guides listeners through the legal, moral, and practical sides of a constitutional right to housing.Whether you’re firmly for it, completely against it, or just trying to make sense of it all—this episode is a must-listen.
