Figures show that Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council had no direct involvement with constructing homes in 2022.
Sinn Fein's Shaun Treacey, who represents Dublin Rathdown, heavily criticised the findings released by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council. He said that the results served as a "wake up call" for the government's response to the housing crisis.
The figures showed that the Council constructed a total of zero homes in 2022. He called on the government to act urgently in response to the figures.
