Ireland is forecast to deliver the strongest rate of new housing completions across 19 European countries this year as it scrambles to reach completion targets.
Data from the EY-Euroconstruct monitor shows the level of housing completions per 1,000 of the population in Ireland at 5.9 in 2024, rising to 7.0 next year.
These levels are forecast to be more than 80% above the European average this year and 127% above the average in 2025.
