Various reports in recent months have suggested significantly different target figures, from 44,000 to 85,000 per annum. Why the discrepancy?
Meanwhile, a report from MyHome.ie, a subsidiary of The Irish Times, pointed out that if Ireland was to have the same supply of housing per head of population as the UK, it would need more than 200,000 new homes. These are not comparable figures, as the MyHome.ie analysis is designed to underline the large shortfall in housing which has opened up. So let’s look at the detail.
To come up with a final housing target, it is necessary to then add in the backlog which has emerged over recent years – including many people living at home who want to move out – and then calculate how many years it would take to deal with this through increased supply.
