Opposition claims Government’s Housing for All plan for 33,450 new builds this year will not be delivered
Minister for Housing denied Opposition’s claim that Government is failing in its housing obligations as latest Housing for All figures show just 158 of the homes were newly built so far this yearTaoiseach Simon Harris , Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien and Minister Roderic O'Gorman at the latest Housing for All update at Government Buildings, Dublin, on July 16, 2024.
During that time, 3,270 social housing “supports” were provided, split between 720 new homes and additions to schemes such as the Housing Assistance Payment scheme and the Rental Accommodation Scheme . Labour Party leader Ivana Bacik highlighted the 158 newly built social homes and said: “This Government is clearly going to fail abjectly in delivering on its housing commitments.”
Mr O’Brien said the Opposition will “know that 83 per cent of our housing delivery came in the last two quarters of last year” and construction is “heavily weighted towards the last quarter”.
