Irish Housing Minister rejects targets, vows to scale up from 2025 output

Irish Housing Minister James Browne stated he does not believe in targets or forecasts for home building, signaling a policy shift away from quantitative goals. The government plans to 'scale up' from the 36,284 new houses built in 2025, but the lack of a defined target introduces uncertainty about future supply. This matters as housing is a critical domestic issue in Ireland, with potential implications for economic growth and social stability.
