Government officials stated at a planning conference in 2001 that 36% of dwellings built in 2000 in Ireland were one-off houses. Recent years have seen a huge increase in the supply of all types of housing in Ireland with 547,000 houses, equivalent to a third of the total national housing stock, built in the period 1996-2006
A 2002 publication by the ESRI reported that one third of Ireland's housing stock consists of one-off houses.
Of 11,604 houses granted planning permission in Ireland in 2010, 48% were for one-off houses.
