Commenting on the findings, Dara Keogh, CEO of GeoDirectory stated that 'while data shows that construction activity and supply of housing stock increased significantly in 2022, it is still lagging well behind the current rate of demand'.

"The number of residential buildings under construction and additions to the housing stock over the past twelve months would indicate that the sector has moved past the disruption brought about by Covid-19," he added.
