The number of new homes completed in the second quarter of the year rose by more than a third compared with the same period in 2024.
Figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) show there were 9,214 new dwellings completed between April and June, a rise of 35 per cent from 6,824 completions in Q2 last year.
The Q2 increase was driven by apartment completions, which doubled (+100.5 per cent) year-on-year from 1,523 to 3,053, but there were also solid increases in the number of scheme dwellings, ie homes that form part of a multi-unit development (+17.3 per cent to 4,643), and single dwellings (+13.1 per cent to 1,518).
