A key objective of the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness is to increase the supply of high quality social housing and homes at more affordable price points, on local authority lands as quickly as possible, particularly in areas where demand is greatest.

To this end, all local authorities are preparing Strategic Development and Management Plans for their housing lands, with particular emphasis on prioritising those sites with the most potential to deliver housing at scale, in the short to medium term.

Currently 22 of the 31 local authorities have submitted their Strategic Plans to my Department. The remaining 9 local authorities that have yet to submit their plans have been requested to do so without further delay. The local authorities that have yet to submit their plans are listed in the following table.

When all the plans have been reviewed and finalised, they will be made available publicly, both on the dedicated Rebuilding Ireland website, as well as on the website of the relevant local authority.
