A REFERENDUM on children’s rights could be postponed until after the General Election if cross-party support on the wording and date is not obtained, the Taoiseach said yesterday.

THE Government yesterday denied it had not done enough to tackle spiralling house prices as the latest report found between a third and a half of the population will soon not be able to afford a house.

A REFERENDUM must be held asking the people to sanction the sale of private property for major projects that are for the common good and promote social justice.

The Taoiseach says there is no Constitutional right to home ownership.
