This is good. Supply is really ramping up. It was ~20K when this government took office.
It would be alot more if they went high rise with 10 story+ apartment blocks. That’s a different story though.

Great news.

Sounds great until you read that we actually need at least 53,000 just to keep up with population growth. We need even more than that to start eating into the backlog
Without an accompanying photo of him rolling up his sleeves, I’m not sure if I believe this.

Apartments please. 10k buildings with 20 apartments is so much more useful.

I’m not sure I understand what that means.

The 2 beds in Dublin are 520k. 100k more than the 3 bed in the same estate 2 years previously. Purest of greed as usual.

Knowing our government, only the paper work will be completed.
They won’t actually be built until 2043.

And they’re all sold right?
It won’t be a case of housing estates being unfinished because the houses aren’t sold…… right?
If that was to happen what happens with all the money invested so far by the poor developers and government?

mmmmm! Air B&B’s owned by Northerner’s.
In Donegal that’s all that happening.

40k would have been great if we still had 2019 demand but we are in a new era with much higher population growth so not really enough

Even a 50k a year plan is most likely too conservative. When accounting for pent-up demand we’re likely going to need 60k pa

Same man said we were starting 350 gaffs every working day just weeks ago (ya, that’s 80,000) lol
Industry commentators estimating we will get to 33kish completions by EoY so I’ll bet anyone they’ll lie to our faces they’re on track for 40k but can’t prove it until Q1 2025 – months after the election
All the geriatrics will buy it tho, every single time

Not to be all doom and gloom but we’ve seen all this before. They scramble to make it look like they’ve been making an effort as the next general election gets closer
