Huge increase in home commencements in Carlow for first quarter of 2024 compared to previous year
The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has published its monthly data on the number of Commencements Notices (residential construction starts) for the first quarter of 2024.
The data shows that in the first three months of 2024, there have been commencement notices for 95 homes in Carlow, a huge increase on the same period in 2023 (38 units).
Construction started on almost 12,000 new homes nationally in the first three months, January to March this year, up 63% from 2023 and the highest number since records began in 2015.
Reflecting on the figures and progress made, Minister of State with responsibility for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan TD said:
“These figures show that a robust stock of new housing supply is in the pipeline for Carlow. It’s clear a number of supports to make home building viable and boost housing supply are working to deliver homes for people. The trends are strong but we are not complacent and we will continue to use every tool available to us to build on this momentum.”
The full commencement data set can be accessed at: Construction Activity Statistics
