3,853 homes were completed in South Dublin in the four quarters Q3 2025 to Q2 2026: 45 single houses, 1,578 houses in schemes and 2,230 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.

Planning Search finds any application received since 2013 by reference or address; the deadline calculator gives the last day for a submission or appeal from the reference; which Act applies settles whether the file is under the 2000 Act or the 2024 Act; appeal statistics show how often decisions here are changed on appeal. The council's own register: planning portal.
AK Planning works nationally from Limerick: applications, submissions, appeals and site appraisals.
