The Department of Housing has been given €7.8 billion for a range of measures including €2bn towards 10,000 new-build social homes in 2025.
Some €680 million of that overall figure will be allocated to schemes which Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe said would support the delivery of 6,400 affordable homes.
Mr Donohoe said an “unprecedented” €1.6 billion will continue to support 66,000 social housing tenancies alongside an additional 7,400 social homes next year, as well as 38,000 social housing leases already in place.
It will also bring 10,000 new households under the Housing Assistance Payment and Rental Accommodation Schemes in 2025.
