The highest number of completions since 2018 A total of 36,284 new homes were completed during the year,up from 30,330 in 2024. The figures show growth across different types ofhousing in comparison to 2024. Apartment completions reached 12,047 units (**up38.7%**). Single dwelling completions rose to 5,929 units (**up 12.5%**). Deputy McGrath said the figures point to steady progress inhousing delivery. *“When these figures are considered alongside the Decembercommencement figures, which show 3,065 units starting on site, more than doublethe previous month, there is a sense of momentum in housing.* *“It is positive to see growth in both completions andcommencements. This shows homes are being delivered now, while a pipeline ofnew homes continues to be built to meet future demand.”* He said increasing housing supply remains central toaddressing high house prices and rents. *“The more homes that are built and brought to market, themore opportunities there are for people to buy or rent a home. Increasingsupply remains key.”* Deputy McGrath added that while the figures are encouraging,the focus remains on addressing remaining challenges. *“These figures indicate the direction we are heading, butthere is still more work to be done. Our focus is on clearing the blockagesthat remain in the system so we can support higher levels of completions in theyears ahead and continue to build a strong pipeline of homes to meet futuredemand.”* **ENDS** Tags: [Séamus McGrath](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/tag/séamus-mcgrath) --- ## **Related news:** [![An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin TD Fianna Fáil 1916 Commemoration Arbour Hill, Sunday 27th April 2025](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/Micheal%20Martin-1.png)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/an-taoiseach-micheál-martin-tdfianna-fáil-1916-commemoration-arbour-hill-sunday-27th-april-2025) April 28, 2025 --- ##### [An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin TD Fianna Fáil 1916 Commemoration Arbour Hill, Sunday 27th April 2025](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/an-taoiseach-micheál-martin-tdfianna-fáil-1916-commemoration-arbour-hill-sunday-27th-april-2025) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/an-taoiseach-micheál-martin-tdfianna-fáil-1916-commemoration-arbour-hill-sunday-27th-april-2025) [![Speech by Taoiseach Micheál Martin - State commemoration to mark 250th anniversary of birth of Daniel O’Connell Derrynane, Wednesday 6th August 2025](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/MichealMartin_PR.jpg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martinstate-commemoration-to-mark-250th-anniversary-of-birth-of-daniel-oconnellderrynane-wednesday-6th-august-2025) August 7, 2025 --- ##### [Speech by Taoiseach Micheál Martin - State commemoration to mark 250th anniversary of birth of Daniel O’Connell Derrynane, Wednesday 6th August 2025](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martinstate-commemoration-to-mark-250th-anniversary-of-birth-of-daniel-oconnellderrynane-wednesday-6th-august-2025) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martinstate-commemoration-to-mark-250th-anniversary-of-birth-of-daniel-oconnellderrynane-wednesday-6th-august-2025) [![Speech by Taoiseach Micheál Martin - Unveiling of Commemorative Plaque to Daniel O’Connell Cahersiveen, Wednesday 6 August 2025](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/MichealMartin_PR.jpg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martin-unveiling-of-commemorative-plaque-to-daniel-oconnell-cahersiveen-wednesday-6-august-2025) August 7, 2025 --- ##### [Speech by Taoiseach Micheál Martin - Unveiling of Commemorative Plaque to Daniel O’Connell Cahersiveen, Wednesday 6 August 2025](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martin-unveiling-of-commemorative-plaque-to-daniel-oconnell-cahersiveen-wednesday-6-august-2025) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martin-unveiling-of-commemorative-plaque-to-daniel-oconnell-cahersiveen-wednesday-6-august-2025) [![Speech by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Apple Cork Campus Expansion Thursday, 19th February 2026](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/MichealMartin_PR.jpg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martin-apple-cork-campus-expansion-thursday-19th-february-2026) February 19, 2026 --- ##### [Speech by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Apple Cork Campus Expansion Thursday, 19th February 2026](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martin-apple-cork-campus-expansion-thursday-19th-february-2026) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/speech-by-taoiseach-micheál-martin-apple-cork-campus-expansion-thursday-19th-february-2026)
