In line with commitments in the Programme for Government and Housing for All: A New Housing Plan for Ireland, the Housing Commission was established by Government in December 2021 to independently examine and review the housing system in Ireland.

The Housing Commission has been tasked to examine issues such as tenure, standards, sustainability and quality-of-life issues in the provision of housing, all of which have long-term impacts on communities. This will include efficient functioning of the markets for construction and provision. It is also tasked to bring forward proposals on the wording for a referendum on housing.

The Housing Commission operates independently of my Department and is expected to report on its terms of reference in November 2023.
