View answerData on dwelling completions by local authority and house type are published quarterly on the Central Statistics Office website at the following link: data.cso.ie/table/NDQ06.
The data show a substantial uplift in the quantum of new homes delivered since the launch of Housing for All in 2021, with some 29,726 and 32,695 new homes completed in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Indeed, new home delivery last year was at its highest level in 15 years, some 10% higher than in 2022 and 13% higher than the Housing for All target of 29,000 for 2023.
This progress is generally being mirrored at local level, with the data for Kildare showing 2,627 and 2,720 new dwelling completions in 2022 and 2023 respectively, a substantial uplift on the 1,664 and 2,035 new homes delivered in 2020 and 2021.
