The Taoiseach

I propose to take Questions Nos. 44, 45 and 46 together.

The Cabinet Committee on Housing works to ensure a coordinated, cross Government, approach to the implementation of Programme for Government commitments regarding housing policy.

The Programme for Government sets out our ambition to accelerate housing supply, building on progress already achieved, recognising housing as a major social and economic challenge.

The National Housing Plan, Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025-2030 was published on 13th November 2025, it aims to speed up the delivery of new homes and tackle homelessness. The plan targets the construction of 300,000 homes, including 72,000 social homes and 90,000 affordable housing supports. Building on the progress of Housing for All, which saw almost 149,000 homes delivered in the last five years, the new plan will enable the State, public bodies, and the private sector to further play a critical part in accelerating delivery.

The Cabinet Committee on Housing last met on Thursday, 14th May the next meeting is scheduled to take place on 29th June.

Questions Nos. 47 to 58, inclusive, resubmitted.
