Property Industry Ireland (PII) welcomes Government’s continued investment in housing delivery announced in Budget 2027
PII Director, David Howard stated: “Government has today sent an important message – that they remain committed to supporting the delivery of housing. Ongoing investment in both social and affordable housing, and enabling infrastructure is critical. Further funding allocations specific to the Housing Infrastructure Investment Fund and Uisce Eireann highlight this commitment. This investment is important when coupled with essential policy changes in the Delivering Homes, Building Communities 2025-2030 housing action plan and Accelerating Infrastructure Report and Action Plan to support both public and private housing viability. It is also important that Government continues to invest in its capacity to deliver on these reforms, and in this regard the additional resourcing allocated to the planning system is positive.
"It is welcome that Government recognised the challenges facing landowners with respect to the Residential Zoned Land Tax. However, further amendments are needed to make sure the tax is applied fairly and avoids unintended consequences undermining housing delivery.”
