Just over 1,800 homes were built in the region last year.
The Housing Minister says he expects the Government to exceed the number of homes built in the midlands last year, in 2024.
Just over 1,800 residential units were delivered to the region in 2023, according to the CSO, with Laois leading the way with 757.
Nationally, the coalition has outlined a target of 34,500 homes this year, which it says it's on track to meet or potentially exceed.
Speaking in Portlaoise, Housing Minister Darragh O' Brien says the midlands is important to hitting that target:
