Construction Workforce Nears 20-Year Peak
The construction sector in Ireland is nearing employment levels last seen during the mid-2000s boom, with over 198,000 people working in the industry in 2022. This resurgence highlights the industry's ability to rebuild its workforce after the 2008 downturn. Although construction output, particularly in housing, remains below peak levels, the steady growth in employment reflects the sector's resilience and its crucial role in the Irish economy, especially as demand for housing continues to rise.

Addressing the Stigma Around Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)
A recent report highlights the untapped potential of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in solving Ireland’s housing challenges. While MMC offers clear benefits like lower costs, faster builds, and sustainability, outdated perceptions still hold back widespread adoption. Greater collaboration and a promotional campaign to showcase the quality of MMC housing are needed to shift views and drive its use across the sector. With the right support, MMC could be a game changer for Ireland’s housing system.
