Residential units granted by local councils each year, next to new homes sold on the register. Permissions take years to become homes, and many are never built.

Source: National Planning Application database (Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage), as yearly totals per council; no applicant details are used. Large schemes decided directly by An Bord Pleanála (Strategic Housing and Large-scale Residential Developments) are not included, so city totals are understated. Some councils do not record unit numbers.
