Significant increase in Wicklow housing delivery targets projected by 2034
The garden county's annual target of 745 homes will increase to 2,068 by 2034. Housing Minister James Browne has announced new guidelines which aim to increase the number of houses built each year across the country from 33,000 to an average of 55,000 by the middle of the next decade, in line with revised targets under the National Planning Framework. Councils are also being asked to collectively zone enough land for an additional 50pc of the target, or a total of 83,000 new homes per year. The Department of Housing's guidelines acknowledge that 'a relatively significant proportion of zoned lands are not activated over the period of a development plan' and that land in desirable areas should be residentially zoned for future development. Minister Browne said it is important local authorities commence the process of revising their individual development plans as quickly as possible. 'This will ensure that sufficient zoned and serviced land is available for housing development. This will enable the full integration of the updated housing growth requirements into city and county development plans. Wicklow TD Edward Timmins has welcomed the release of the figures to the county council. 'Wicklow has been given one of the highest target increases nationally. I now ask the Minister to ensure that Wicklow County Council is given the internal resources such as extra planners and the external infrastructure to allow these targets to be achieved'. 'I also welcome the allowance for councils to zone 50pc above the requirement as many zoned lands will never be developed.' The figures are released after the local authority allocated over 90 new social homes across the county in June. Three major developments (Doire Dubh in Tinahely, Cois Droichid in Greystones, and Tinakilly Park in Rathnew) were completed in recent weeks, offering a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. All units are A-rated for energy efficiency and finished to a high standard. Between 2022 and 2024, the council delivered 680 new-build social homes, exceeding its official Housing for All target of 478 by 142pc.

€100,000 set to upgrade Wicklow park and support older people
In August 2024, Wicklow was allocated €694,300 for seven community projects as part of the first phase of funding under the fund, which aims to support the development of facilities and infrastructure for communities in recognition of their efforts in welcoming many new arrivals to their cities, towns and villages in recent years. In June 2025, a total of nine community projects, amounting to €905,535. This past Wednesday, the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht announced the approval of two additional Wicklow projects under phase 3 of the fund, bringing the total funding for phase 3 to €1,005,535. County Wicklow Partnership CLG has received €50,000 for its Wicklow Older Persons Support Programme in Arklow town and rural south Wicklow, while the Rathdrum Development Association has been allocated €50,000 to complete phase 2 of an upgrade to the Parnell National Memorial Park in Rathdrum. Although delighted with the €43,700 allocated to the Rathdrum Development Association on June 5 to upgrade the paths around the Parnell Memorial Park and install solar lighting, local councillor Pat Kennedy said that, although funding was very much welcomed, 'it was never going to be enough to cover the full cost of the project'. 'We have secured an additional €50,000, bringing the total to €93,700 for the project and allowing us to fully upgrade all of the paths and install all of the lighting,' he said. 'I want to thank the people from the Rathdrum Development Association and Wicklow County Council (WCC) who worked closely with me to secure both rounds of funding.' Welcoming the announcement, WCC cathaoirleach, councillor Melanie Corrigan, stated: 'This funding will make a significant difference to the local communities in providing improved facilities and additional services to the communities in Rathdrum and Arklow town and rural south Wicklow'. WCC deputy chief executive Michael Nicholson added: 'This investment acknowledges and recognises the efforts made by our towns and villages in welcoming new arrivals to their communities in recent years. This funding will assist our communities in continuing their excellent work for the benefit of all.'

N17 upgrade progressing through design phase on preferred route option says County Council
In an update the council said it was currently advancing through Phase 3: Design and Environmental Evaluation in accordance with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) project management guidelines. 'The objective of Phase 3 is to develop the design of the preferred option to a stage where sufficient levels of detail exist to establish land requirements, identify and mitigate project impacts, and to progress the project through the statutory processes. 'In 2024, a Ministerial condition attached to grant funding limited Phase 3 activities to the Tobercurry and Charlestown Bypass elements of the scheme. During that period, works included topographic and hydrographic surveys, as well as LiDAR assessments for those sections. 'The 2025 TII grant allocations, issued on 25 March 2025, contained no such conditions. As a result, Sligo County Council is now progressing Phase 3 for the entire preferred corridor, extending from Ireland West Airport Knock to Collooney. The project corridor can be viewed at: 'In 2025, the Council will undertake topographic and hydrographic surveys, along with LiDAR assessments, for the remaining sections of the route—specifically from Ireland West Airport Knock to Charlestown, and from north of Tobercurry to Collooney. These works are expected to commence in Q4 2025. 'To support the delivery of Phases 3 (Design and Environmental Evaluation) and Phase 4 (Statutory Consent), Sligo County Council intends to engage a multi-disciplinary consultancy firm. This process is expected to be ongoing throughout Q3/Q4 2025 with the intention to award the contract in Q1 2026 subject to TII approvals and funding. 'Sligo County Council remains committed to keeping the public informed as the project progresses. We would like to thank the community for their ongoing cooperation and patience and look forward to working together to deliver this vital infrastructure for the north west region,' said the council in a statement.
