9,034 new homes have been built in Kildare since July 2020. The statistics, compiled from Fianna Fáil’s Housing For All plan, also show that from January to June 2024, 1,841 homes have been commenced in Kildare, up from 715 in the same period in 2023. 
Commenting on the figures, Fianna Fáil Senator Fiona O'Loughlin said: “Since we entered government in 2020, our top priority has been doing everything we can to help people to afford to buy or rent a home. We are using every lever at our disposal to tackle the housing crisis and the statistics show that progress is being made.
“Supply is the key to addressing our housing needs and it is increasing. Nationwide, 33,784 new homes commenced construction in the first six months of this year. The Help to Buy Scheme is helping first time buyers in Kildare get their first home. The Rent Tax Credit is helping renters with the cost of rent, with  21,590 Rent Tax Credit claims made across Kildare from 2022 to 2024."
 
3,027 social homes have also been delivered in the county from 2020-2023.
