Property Industry Ireland (PII) welcome Government’s National Housing Plan, “Delivering Homes, Building Communities”

Property Industry Ireland (PII), the Ibec group for businesses working in the property sector, welcomed today’s publication of Government’s National Housing Plan, “Delivering Homes, Building Communities”.

PII Director, David Howard stated:

“Today’s publication marks an important move to policy certainty and the implementation stage of delivering more homes over the coming years. Government has taken some very important steps in recent months to support viability of home building across all tenures, including the VAT and Corporation Tax measures announced in Budget 2026. While these will be impactful, further measures that have been flagged including reform of Judicial Reviews and the ongoing work of the Housing Activation Office are important in delivering the infrastructure needed. Likewise, the enacting of the rent reform Bill to give effect to Government’s policy decisions earlier this year will be an important stage in delivering more rental units. Implementation and engagement over the coming months across all levels of Government continues to be key, including on the roll-out of the revised National Planning Framework and the Section 28 Guidance. The property and construction industry look forward to continuing to work with Government in increasing housing numbers.”
