The housing crisis has tormented governments for years now, and will likely continue to torment governments into the future. Also on Friday, a report from Sherry FitzGerald praised a number of moves made by the Government. “At this point in time, there is much reason for optimism regarding a meaningful increase in housing output over the medium-term,” Sherry FitzGerald said. Just this week, data from banking lobby group Banking & Payments Federation Ireland showed there were just over 16,000 housing commencements during 2025, down from more than 69,300 in 2024. If you listen to Glenveagh and Sherry FitzGerald, it seems it has finally got the policies in place to spur new construction.
