My Department does not make official projections as to housing delivery in specific areas.
Our new housing plan, Delivering Homes, Building Communities, seeks to build on this progress already made by further enabling the delivery of at least 300,000 new homes by 2030.
It will do this by focusing on activating land and creating the optimal environment to encourage housing activity – including regulatory reform, tax incentives and the largest ever capital investment in the history of the State, with €275 billion invested in infrastructure over ten years through the National Development Plan.
The unprecedented level of investment Government have committed, will bring about a very significant scale up in the delivery of housing over the coming years, address the needs of the most vulnerable in our communities, make buying and renting homes more affordable and support the development of villages, towns and cities across the country.
