flag Irish home construction dropped to a near-decade low in 2025, but remains above pre-incentive levels.

flag Irish housing construction hit a near-decade low in 2025 with 16,412 commencement notices, the fewest since 2016, following a surge in 2024 driven by temporary government incentives. flag Despite the decline, combined notices from 2024 and 2025 exceeded 85,000, a 40% increase from the prior two years. flag December 2025 showed recovery, with over 3,000 notices filed—double the prior month—more than half for apartments. flag Analysts say about 4,000 new homes must start monthly to meet the government’s goal of over 50,000 annual homes through 2030.
