Plans for 30,000 new homes in urban sites

The Government is hoping to deliver 30,000 new homes in 23 major urban areas in Cork, Dublin, Limerick and Galway in a bid to relieve the housing crisis, a government report reveals.

Up to 23 so-called “Major Urban Delivery Sites” have been identified with the capacity to deliver 30,000 new homes in the medium term in the Greater Dublin Area, Cork, Limerick and Galway.

“These are to be prioritised for progressing by the Housing Delivery Office and Local Authorities,” the report states.
