Limerick and Waterford on track to exceed housing targets, Oireachtas hears

“The target for Limerick is to deliver 2693 homes by 2026,” Limerick City and County Council chief executive Pat Daly said.

Local authorities in Limerick and Waterford have both said they’re on track to exceed their housing targets under the Government’s landmark Housing for All plan but conceded there were a number of challenges facing housing delivery in the coming years.

While both agreed it can take four years from conception to delivery of new social homes, judicial reviews taken against such developments can add years to this build time.
