3,238 homes were completed in Fingal in the four quarters Q3 2025 to Q2 2026: 79 single houses, 1,632 houses in schemes and 1,527 apartments (CSO, new dwelling completions by local authority). The national picture, and how completions relate to permissions, is in the monthly housing pipeline report.
Applications for 20 or more homes received since 21 September 2024, largest first, where the number of homes can be read from the register. Some applications do not state it in a form that can be read, so the list is not complete; a scheme refused and lodged again appears twice. No applicant is named.
