According to a report to be published by the Ministry for Local Government and the Environment, Dundalk has zoned sufficient development land for 32,970 homes zoned enough to meet demand until 2073. According to a piece in the Irish Examiner, the report suggests "there were enough houses provided for in developing regions to satisfy the market until 2031."
According to a piece in the Irish Times, this report will result in a significant change of policy in regard to zoning:
"- End rezoning of land for commercial development without taking other factors into account
- Development plans to be aligned with regional planning guidelines, spatial strategy and population demand
- Ensure local authorities carry out immediate review of development plans.
- Planning system reform to coincide with financial measures to deal with effects of property bubble.
- Planning authorities will have to include “core strategy” in plans, placing them in context of national/regional policy"
