Taoiseach announces plan for 50,000 new homes by 2028

The new government programme aims to deliver a major expansion of public housing across the nation.

The Taoiseach has officially unveiled the "Housing for All 2028" initiative, a comprehensive strategy to combat the national housing shortage. The plan focuses on sustainable development and urban density.

Key regions such as Dublin, Cork, and Portlaoise are set to receive the lion's share of the investment, with new social housing developments breaking ground as early as next month.

“Providing secure, affordable homes is our primary mission for the next three years.”

Industry experts have cautiously welcomed the news, though some suggest that labor shortages in the construction sector may challenge the ambitious 2028 deadline.
