Government set to fall short of promised number of new homes built

A total of 32,695 homes were built in all of last year. On the current trajectory, it appears that housing delivery in 2024 will be closer to this figure than the Government’s expected figure of 40,000.

A total of 21,643 new homes were built in Ireland in the first nine months of this year, a fall of more than 3% on the same period last year.

With only three months left, it appears likely that new home delivery in 2024 may fall significantly short of the 40,000 the Government has been touting for several months now.
