Building on new homes in April dropped to their lowest rates in nearly a decade last month. Sinn Féin’s housing spokesman Eoin Ó Broin told the Irish Mirror that the lack of construction starting means that supply will be tight both this year and next year and the Government could miss its housing figures again in 2025 and 2026.
