DELIVERING ON
HOUSING
Delivering for You in Fingal East Minister Darragh O’Brien TD
M
ore than 100,000 new homes have been delivered since 2020, the year Fianna Fáil re-entered Government. The number of social homes delivered in 2023 was the largest in decades. Close to 12,000 new social homes were added to our national stock last year, a 16% increase on 2022. Fianna Fáil in Government are bringing affordability back to the heart of our housing system and last year we doubled our output of affordable homes. We know not everyone is feeling the progress, not yet. But after more than a decade of undersupply, the tide is turning, and every effort is focussed on growing that momentum. Fianna Fáil in Government is supporting first time buyers, making affordable purchase and cost rental homes a reality, overhauling our planning system and incentivising the construction of more homes. Rest assured we are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to delivering homes.
