Ireland's shittiest monthly housing supply indicator from AIB, their purchasing managers indicator in which 150 construction businesses indicate their level of activity and AIB convert that into a PMI, anything above 50.0 is an expansion from the previous month. AIB say that housing construction activity has contracted for the third consecutive month in October 2026. We use this indicator to a limited extent. However the CSO hasn't indicated when it will publish its far superior construction indices for Q3,2026 based on 2,000 businesses. There's nothing in the CSO calendar up to 31 December! We are predicting 36-38,000 completions in 2026.
