Housing delivery in Dublin facing 'exceptional challenges and high risks'

New homes under construction at Kilcarbery Grange in Dublin. However, there are around 39,000 inactive planning permissions in Dublin alone.

The delivery of housing is facing “exceptional challenges and high risks” which are threatening the Government’s housing targets, according to a new report delivered to the Minister for Housing.

These challenges include the long period of time it is taking to complete projects, uncertainty over inflation, and the number of sites with planning permission where work has yet to commence.
