Support an average of 15,000 starter homes per year

What this means

• The Irish government has committed to supporting an average of 15,000 starter homes per year as part of its 2025 Programme for Government.[source]
• The plan relies on two main supports: an expanded First Home Scheme and the Help to Buy scheme, both aimed at helping people purchase their first home.[source]
• The commitment is currently in progress and sits under the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, led by Minister James Browne.[source]
• No firm deadline has been set for when the 15,000 annual target must be fully met, which makes it harder to hold the government to account on timing.[source]
• This commitment was first stated on 23 January 2025 and forms part of the government's broader housing policy agenda.[source]
