📢Papers and presentations submitted for last month's Conference on a Referendum on Housing are now available to view here: gov.ie/en/publication/127ea-… Thanks to all contributors for their permission to publish these resources #HousingRefConf
Our 'Current Issues' conference programme is now available. Panels on constitutional law, judicial review, planning and environmental, data and information, criminal law, immigration, child and family and European law. See the line-up here: ucd.ie/law/t4media/14%20June…
Speaking now is @Caseyco231. His presentation explores whether the Irish Constitution in its current form inhibits the State’s response to the housing crisis and whether the protection afforded to private property rights has been overestimated. #HousingRefConference
Over the next 2 days, we'll be live tweeting from a Conference on a Referendum on Housing in Ireland. Join us for regular updates throughout. #HousingRefConf
