Summary
Local councils are set to zone enough land over the next 15 years to build a million new homes, with Glenveagh’s Kevin Dillon predicting a doubling of occupied homes by 2065—mostly by 2040. Land prices could fall as supply increases, fueled by a government investment surge from €432 million in 2016 to over €5 billion this year, the highest per capita housing build in Europe. Yet progress stalls on modern construction methods like off-site building, and energy policy shifts—including a new LNG terminal—highlight a pattern of ambitious but unfulfilled renewable targets, especially offshore wind, which won’t generate power until at least 2031.
