REVEALED: Almost 800 new build social homes constructed in Tipperary since 2022
New figures released by the Department of Housing show a 29% increase in the delivery of new-build social homes in Tipperary in 2025.
The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage James Browne TD today published the latest new-build social housing delivery statistics, revealing that 2025 was a record year nationally for social housing construction.
Overall, nationally in 2025, 9,089 new‑build social homes were delivered, an increase of 1,256 homes (16%) compared with 2024. This is the highest amount of new social homes built in any given year since the foundation of the state.
In Tipperary, 232 new-build social homes were completed in 2025, this represents a 29% increase compared to 2024.
In total, 769 new-build social homes have been delivered in Tipperary since 2022.
Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage James Browne TD said:
“We are now seeing an unprecedented level of delivery of new‑build social homes across the country - including in Tipperary - with 2025 representing the largest number of new‑build social homes constructed since the foundation of the State.
“This reflects the scaling‑up of local authority building programmes, increased output from Approved Housing Bodies and the acceleration of construction activity across the country.
“But these homes are not just units; they represent security, stability and opportunity for thousands of households.
“While this is a record year, we know the work must continue. My focus now is on sustaining this momentum, scaling delivery even further and ensuring that more people in Tipperary benefit from access to high-quality, secure housing.”
