The government has signed off on the country’s latest housing plan.
“Delivering Homes, Building Communities”, has pledged that a minimum of 300,000 new homes will be built by 2030, with 72,000 of those being social houses.

Minister Dillon has been speaking with Midwest Radio’s Rowan Kelly this lunchtime…
