It also includes details on when the projects commenced on site. The most recent publication was for Quarter 1 2025.

Local authorities, including Wicklow County Council, have published 5 year Housing Delivery Action Plans setting out their affordable housing delivery targets up to 2026. Additional affordable homes will also be delivered by the Land Development Agency (LDA), Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs), via the higher Part V requirements introduced in the Affordable Housing Act 2021 and via the First Home Scheme. A copy of Wicklow County Council’s plan is available on its official website at the following weblink -
