Over 240 people apply for 36 fresh Dublin homes on sale at prices starting at €291K More than 240 applicants have submitted expressions of interest for 36 new affordable homes in north County Dublin, according to reports from The Irish Times published on April 16, 2026. The properties, priced from €291,000, represent the first phase of a larger development delivering 176 homes at a Skerries site. The homes are being developed through a partnership between the Land Development Agency and the Lydon building firm. This initiative forms part of ongoing efforts to increase affordable housing supply in the Dublin region, targeting first-time buyers and growing families. Applications for the initial 36 units significantly outnumber availability, highlighting continued strong demand for accessible housing options in the Dublin area. The development offers a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom properties. The Irish Times reported that these homes are the first to come to market from the Skerries development, with pricing positioned to support households within specific income thresholds as part of the affordable housing scheme. No further details regarding application procedures, exact income limits, or future phased release dates for the remaining 140 homes in the development were specified in the verified sources consulted for this report.
