Matters relating to State Savings schemes are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Finance.
Delivering Homes, Building Communities, published on 13 November 2025, is Ireland’s new national housing plan. It is a wide-ranging action plan focused on housing supply and targeting homelessness.
The National Treasury Management Agency operates Ireland State Savings. They provide a range of products such as Bonds and Saving Certificates as well as regular deposit accounts operated through Post Offices. These products provide a safe way to save directly with the Irish Government and are 100% protected by the State.
The National Treasury Management Agency in turn provides a source of funds to the Housing Finance Agency, Home Building Finance Ireland and the Land Development Agency for housing delivery.
Under the new housing plan, Ireland State Savings will prepare publications to better explain the role they play in housing delivery.
