'Planning and infrastructure delays continue to stall the building of thousands of new homes.'

The latest Property Price Register from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) showed house price inflation moderated slightly in the 12 months to March 2025, but the cost of buying a home still rose 7.5% in the space of a year.
