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.
