    Basically they’re saying the target to 2030 is 300,000 homes. They reckon 155,000 by 2028 will be doable, making it a challenge to make up the rest in 2 years.

    Inferring from their numbers they reckon we’ll end up closer to 255,000-265,000 by the end of 2030 on current trajectory.

    I wonder did they not just run their numbers forward 2 more years to save government blushes.

    I can see election in November 2029 now… “We promise, the uplift this year and next, 300,000 you can count on it!”

  2. FG/FF have now scrapped setting targets for delivery which means we’re living in fantasy land. It’s all about keeping the optics going to maintain power

    The Central back hasn’t got the memo that FF/FG class hotel rooms, tents and cardboard boxes as homes /S

  4. So the plan here is to push a target date out past the election, when they are voted back in again & miss this target ^ THIS report will be questioned in Dáil & We’ll watch as Simon Harris or Michael Martin’s successor waffle an answer before it’s never heard of again. Just like every other target that they’ve missed over the last decade.

    300,000 is such an ass-pull it’s disrespectful. I can get behind being lied to a *normal* amount, but let’s not get crazy with it.

    The housing crisis, the Government’s response, and very significant cohort of the electorates seeming indifference as more and more people are thrown into homelessness, including thousands upon thousands of children, has really substantially dented my faith in the civic good.

    No sh@t Sherlock. My father who is nearly 90 commented at the announcement of the Government’s 300k target “That works out at 75,000 houses per year… not possible”. Glad that the well-paid folks the Central Bank have concluded the same; how could they not?

    One big problem I have with all this building is we need so much more infrastructure.
    Please Build more infrastructure, more amenities around big new housing developments!

    If you look around carrilgaline, glanmire, naas, bray, drogheda wherever; you will find massive newish housing developments with thousands of young families and kids and teens with zero infrastructure and zero amenities.

    More often than not:

    No local shop

    No crèche for the 100s of kids

    No pub

    No restaurant

    No school

    No playground

    Nothing for teens to do

    No GP

    No dentist

    No pharmacy

    No bike lanes, no active travel supports

    Limited bus routes, no bus shelters

    Zero, nothing, zilch

    And then we wonder why traffic is so bad??
    Cos we have to drive everywhere all the time for everything. Drive into carrigaline, down to Douglas, over to Wilton. All stuck in traffic all wondering why traffic is so bad all the time!!

    If only they could build some infrastructure when new developments are being planned! Nope they won’t and we spend our evenings on Reddit complaining about traffic
