Commitment

Build at least 50,000 new homes a year

What this means

  • The Labour Party promised to build at least 50,000 new homes every year in Ireland as part of its 2024 general election manifesto.[source]
  • This is a promise only, not yet delivered. It was first stated on 17 November 2024 and no delivery deadline has been set.[source]
  • Alongside the 50,000 homes target, Labour set a long-term goal for 20% of all housing stock in Ireland to be social or affordable housing.[source]
  • This commitment matters for accountability because it gives voters a clear, measurable housing target to hold the Labour Party to if it enters government.[source]
