The trend in the Irish construction sector has turned, according to the National Housing Construction Index which is predicting growth in the next quarter.

The latest edition of the National Housing Construction Index compiled and issued by Link2Plans has tracked an increase in planning application across 10 counties.

Taken on a national basis, there has been a slight decline in the number of planning applications, down 1% compared to the same period last year.
