Where Dublin is building: commencements by local electoral area
Data updated 12 Sept 2026 · register lag up to 7 days · sources & freshness
Rush-Lusk (Fingal) leads Dublin on commencement notices in the last 12 months: 116 notices for 11,097 homes. The four Dublin councils logged 3,348 notices and 52,517 homes on the Building Control Management System in that time. A commencement notice is lodged 14 to 28 days before work starts, so this is a leading count of building, not of completions.
