As outlined in my response to Parliamentary Question No. 450 of 18 February 2025, Government's revised housing targets are principally informed by research and modelling by the ESRI on projected population growth and forecast structural housing demand to 2040.

The ESRI's work, which provides several scenarios for inward migration over the period, can be accessed at www.esri.ie/publications/population-projections-the-flow-of-new-households-and-structural-housing-demand.
