'I think we'd be confident': Housing Dept expects to hit overall housing targets in 2023

SENIOR CIVIL SERVANTS in the Department of Housing have said that they are “confident” that they will be able to meet their overall housing targets this year.

Appearing before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Assistant Secretary at the Department of Housing Feargal Ó Coigligh said that the Department was confident they would be able to match the overall delivery in 2023.This means that the Government expect to exceed the 2023 housing target, which is 29,000 new build homes.He added that, despite a slowdown in new planning permissions in recent months, there is an “existing bank of permissions that can be activated” in the coming year.

Publication criticism The timing of the publication of the social and affordable housing delivery figures has also been criticised by some opposition TDs, with questions raised about the figures being released shortly after the verdict of the Regency murder trial was announced. “I think it’s highly cynical that they released them. I think there’s no question that the notes were held back and held back for a considerable amount of time,” O’Callaghan said.
