Housing is only slightly down due to increased costs and lack of labour supply however commercial work is expanding.

Too many housing schemes trapped in the planning system as well as the lack of utilities like ESB and sewer/water connections by our semi-states.

Only slightly down compared to what exactly????

We are building only a fraction of the houses required and well you know it.

Their last quarterly report.

Planning system backlogs
Schemes stuck in An Bord Pleanala/judicial reviews for years.
Politician's objecting for votes.
Semi-States like ESB and Irish Water cannot even provide utility connections
Lack of available building contractors due to high workload.

Mostly public servants making life worse for everybody as usual as it is not for the lack of funding.

What are you on about? We've a deficit of 250,000 houses. That didn't happen overnight. People were screaming in 2016 they needed to get the finger out. They missed their targets last year despute revising the targets down. They, and you, haven't got a fcuking clue. They have destroyed the housing market in this country.

We've had a crisis since 2016.
One housing minister killed a homeless guy by moving his tent with a digger.
Coveney made promises in 2017 that never happened.
Fatty O Brien, just last December, refused to accept that housing was a national crisis.
During a housing crisis the government underspent capital expenditure by €1bn.
People in their 70s are being made homeless.
They got rid of an eviction ban and had no legislation ready, despite knowing for 6 months they were ending the eviction ban.
Stop making excuses for the useless c***s.

All caused by the recent spike in building materials and labour costs.

Not a "recession" or downturn.

Ah, brilliant. Compared to an absolute sh*t-show the last quarter they're now showing some improvement is it?

I know you're not good with numbers but surely even you can grasp that a 100% increase on 1% is still only 2%

I am not disputing any numbers.

There are about 500 mortgage drawdowns each and every week as well as social houses coming on stream.

That + cash buyers etc.

Just keep catastrophizing everything all the time anyway.
