Construction began on just 16,412 housing units last year, the lowest total since 2016.
The number came off the back of a far higher number of units started in 2024, when a total of 69,311 notices were filed. However, this was fuelled by a waiver of development levies and a rebate from Uisce Éireann for water-connection charges.
Announcing the figures yesterday, the Department of Housing pointed out that, across 2024 and 2025, a total of 85,723 units were started.
