Report shows over 1,300 new-build social homes in the pipeline for Donegal
According to the report, 474 homes were under construction across the county as of Q4 2025, with a further 840 units at design or tender stage
The latest Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR) has today confirmed that 1,314 new-build social homes are now in the delivery pipeline for Donegal, marking continued strong momentum in the State’s social housing building programme.
According to the report, 474 homes were under construction across the county as of Q4 2025, with a further 840 units at design or tender stage. The CSR provides a detailed overview of new-build activity across local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies nationwide.
Nationally, 22,949 new-build social homes are in the delivery process, with 9,703 under construction and a further 13,246 units at design or tender stage. The CSR provides a detailed overview of new-build activity across local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies nationwide.
This substantial pipeline underpins the continued delivery of new social homes, following last year’s record output of more than 9,000 newly built social homes, the highest annual figure achieved to date.
Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, James Browne TD, today emphasised: “The continued momentum shown in today’s figures reflects the real and lasting impact that sustained investment in social housing is having both in Donegal and across the country.
“Such a robust pipeline provides a solid foundation for maintaining record levels of social housing delivery, ensuring that the momentum achieved to date can be sustained and strengthened in the years ahead.”
“This level of activity is not just about numbers. It is about providing secure, high-quality homes that transform people’s lives. Every new home delivered means long-term stability for a family or individual and I am determined that this progress continues at pace.”
The CSR provides a breakdown of local authority and Approved Housing Body social housing new-build activity. It includes scheme-level details on the completion of social housing new builds, as well as information on each construction scheme as it progresses through the design and tender processes. It does not not include local authority Part V delivery.
