📢 Listen back to Conor O'Connell, our Director of Housing and Planning, discuss the critical need for water infrastructure and "pipes in the ground" to enable housing on yesterday's RTE Drivetime. At least 50,000 housing units per annum will need to be constructed at a minimum. Yet home builders continue to report delays in connecting sites to water to activate development on zoned lands. In Budget 2025, we're calling for a greater allocation of ring-fenced capital and maintenance investment in Ireland’s water and wastewater infrastructure with guaranteed multi-annual budgets. #housing #housingforall #water #infrastrutre Irish Home Builders Association
