3,065 units were commenced, an increase on the previous month where 1,533 units were started.
Data for Kildare shows that 607 new homes were commenced in Kildare in 2025, lower than the number of housing units commenced in 2024.
The total amount of units commenced nationally in 2025 was 16,412.
69,000 notices were received in 2024, boosted by temporary incentives, including waived development levies and water connection rebates.
