The Government committed in January 2025 to introduce an all of government national housing plan to follow Housing for All, underpinned by a multi-annual funding commitment.

As part of this, all Departments have been examining actions to further enable both the delivery and viability of housing.

One of these areas has been an initial examination and consideration of whether and how a Livret A type model of state savings might work in an Irish context. As the area of savings, banking and finance comes under the remit of the Minister for Finance, preliminary engagement between my Department and the Department of Finance to examine this issue has been undertaken.
