Ireland's largest housebuilder Cairn Homes said it hopes the Government will help mitigate disruption to its home building targets this year by lifting the new restrictions on building sites in early February.

In an update, the builder said it had a strong order book, as well as a "clear sales and profitability momentum into 2021".
