A fresh evaluation measuring local authority performance across Ireland has placed Louth at the absolute summit for new and additional housing delivery. Published by the Hardware Association Ireland, the new league table tracks progress during the first half of the year, highlighting significant disparities in how different councils manage housing demand, planning efficiency, and local targets. Louth achieved a rate of six point six homes created per one thousand residents, soaring eighty-three percent above the overall State rate of three point six. Following closely behind in second position was Laois with five point two, and Kildare coming in at four point six. On the other end of the spectrum, Galway city recorded the lowest output at one point nine homes per one thousand people, trailed by Limerick and Mayo. The study evaluates councils based on concrete delivery numbers and planning efficiency, with the Hardware Association Ireland intending to publish this specific ranking twice a year. According to chief executive Martin Markey, the initiative is designed to foster transparency, encourage cross-sector collaboration, and help underperforming regions learn successful strategies from high-achieving local authorities. The report also highlights the potential for tackling housing demands through the revitalization of empty homes and properties situated above retail shops.
