THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Federation (CIF) has said it does not believe that housing completions will increase this year.
The organisation said that “blockages” such as existing infrastructure issues and delays to funding schemes are slowing down the delivery of housing and need to be addressed.
Figures published by the Central Statistics Office last month showed that a total of 30,330 new homes were built last year, 6.7% less than 2023 and just under 10,000 units less than what the outgoing government promised voters would be completed last year.
