Fewer than 30 new-build social homes were delivered in Clare in the first three months of the year. Figures from the Department of Housing show Clare County Council completed 17 social homes in the first quarter of 2025 which accounts for just 10% of its target of 164 for the year. Factoring in other elements such as the 10 units built by approved housing bodies across the period, the county had a social housing delivery figure of 59 from January to March. Douglas Hurley of DNG O'Sullivan Hurley Estate Agents says the local authority drastically needs to ramp up its efforts.
