Some 72 per cent of social homes delivered in the first nine months of last year came via turnkey or Part V purchases via IrishTimesBiz

Mr Ó Broin said: “Turnkeys in and of themselves are not a problem but the heavy overreliance on private developers to deliver social housing is very risky.”

“Until the Government fixes that red tape, there will be a perverse incentive to continue overrelying on private developers,” Mr Ó Broin said. “And at a time when commencements are falling, that’s a high-risk strategy.”Reliance on the private sector to deliver housing was highlighted as a “vulnerability” in a briefing document prepared by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for its new Minister, Paschal Donohoe, when he took up the role last month.

It estimated that up to 6,500 social homes would be delivered in 2022 , down from a target of 8,000. But even this figure may be at risk with just 2,706 delivered in the first nine months of 2022.

White-tailed eagle released in wild ‘poisoned with illegal pesticide’The healthy juvenile male had been brought to Ireland as a chick in 2021 from Norway but was found dead last November, having ingested poison that was being used illegally as so-called pest control. ⚠️😢💐 This is Ireland’s attitude to its precious and rare wildlife, this is what we do, the shame. Shameful behaviour by ignorant culchies. What are the IFA doing to educate their cohort?
