Irish construction activity rebounds into growth in July

Tuesday 11 August 2026

Irish construction activity returned to expansion in July, signaling a turnaround in momentum for the building sector.

Irish construction activity rebounded into growth in July, according to a report published by London South East.

The expansion points to a turnaround in the country's building sector performance. The source report did not outline specific statistical data, index figures, or sector-by-sector breakdowns detailing which specific areas of construction experienced the strongest growth.

While the exact drivers of the expansion remain unspecified in the published update, the transition back into growth indicates a positive shift in momentum for Irish building activity heading into the second half of the year.
