Since 2021, 1,616 have been delivered for the county
New figures have shown an additional 2,683 Starter Home supports were delivered in Q2 of 2026.
This includes 144 in Kildare, representing a national increase of 45% compared to the same period last year.
Speaking to Kfm News, Kildare South TD and Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon said that the figures show the schemes are "hugely successful", while also criticising Opposition parties who "want to scrap" them "despite their success".
“While there is still work to be done to improve housing delivery and affordability, this is an important development," he added.
In total, over 22,800 Starter Home supports have now been delivered since 2021, including 1,616 in Kildare.
Starter Home supports include a number of Government schemes including the Affordable Purchase, Cost Rental, the First Home Scheme and the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant.
