The data, published on Thursday, show that commencement notices for 2,574 new homes were received by building control authorities in June 2023, compared to 2,060 units in June 2022.
“It’s making sure that the homes that are commencing and getting closer to the delivery are actually going to be represented over the wider social housing need and not just too heavily weighted in maybe what’s most profitable for the market to build which would be the traditional three and four bedroom homes.”
Depaul chief executive David Carroll said that any improvement in the rate of commencements is encouraging.
