Sinn Féin accuses Micheál Martin of 'misleading voters' with 40,000 houses target

In the Dáil, Mary Lou McDonald accused Micheál Martin and Simon Harris of 'misleading voters' with their 40,000 houses target.
In the first nine months of 2024, 21,634 houses and apartments were built - 691 fewer than in the same period last year.
In October 2024, then-Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien insisted that the Government will exceed its housing target for 2024.
“The target this year under Housing for All is 33,450,” Minister O’Brien said.
“I have consistently said we will exceed that target.
“I still confidently predict… that it will be the high 30,000s to low 40,000s this year.
“There will be record completions in the last quarter of this year.”
