Planning applications in Ireland, week 44 of 2026
No applications for this week have reached the national register yet.
Provisional. Councils publish to the national register a week or more after receiving an application, so a week’s total keeps rising for four to five weeks after it ends. The register is current to 23 October 2026. Treat the week-on-week comparison as indicative until then.
Major projects
Solar farms, wind farms, battery storage, data centres, housing schemes of 50+ homes and hotels of 40+ bedrooms.

Method
Counts are of applications with a received date inside the ISO week (26 October to 1 November), read from the national planning applications dataset published by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage on behalf of the 31 planning authorities. Major projects are identified by scanning each development description; sizes come from the register fields and the description itself, and each story quotes the description in full.
