Calls for referendum on sale of land

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.

This will be one of the main recommendations of an All-Party Committee on the Constitution when it publishes its report on housing land at the end of the month, according to committee chairman Deputy Denis O’Donovan.

The major projects designated for the common good and in line with the principles of social justice will include motorways, metros, underground tunnels and major social housing projects.
