Verification

Cross-checked against the source document. Quote captured verbatim where the figure is directly stated; gaps and mismatches are noted honestly.

People Before Profit GE2024 manifesto cites Central Bank estimates that Ireland needs to build 68,000 homes a year and proposes a State Construction Company, but does not give a verbatim '50,000 state-built homes per year' figure for the party's own programme. The unit count appears to be a planning assumption.
