“This reflects the scaling‑up of local authority building programmes, increased output from Approved Housing Bodies and the acceleration of construction activity across the country.

“But these homes are not just units; they represent security, stability and opportunity for thousands of households.

“While this is a record year, we know the work must continue. My focus now is on sustaining this momentum, scaling delivery even further and ensuring that more people in Tipperary benefit from access to high-quality, secure housing.”
