The Central Bank has indicated that the Government's housing plans will not meet targets for the next three years, following underperformance in 2024. Despite this projection, Enterprise Minister Peter Burke defended the government's strategy, claiming success in previous years. Opposition politicians, particularly from Sinn Fein, criticized this stance as out of touch, highlighting ongoing challenges in the housing crisis. Housing Minister James Browne acknowledged the difficulty of the situation and hinted at future adjustments to improve housing delivery, maintaining that it was premature to draw firm conclusions about the projections.
The Central Bank has projected that the Government will miss its own housing targets by a wide margin for the next three years.
We're starting to turn the tide. It's going to take time. Absolutely, it will take time, I have no doubt in that.
I'm just absolutely shocked at what the minister just said that they're winning the battle in terms of housing. They are losing the battle.
Only time will tell whether the reports are right or wrong.
