The government released its affordable housing figures for 2025 and claimed 17,700 homes delivered. The real number of state-built affordable homes for purchase is 935; and not one of them was built in Dublin City. I go through exactly what's in those figures and why the headline number is misleading. Then: a proposal to cut stamp duty for first-time buyers.
