Refurbishment Grant expanded to remote rural areas of Sligo

The Croí Cónaithe Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant has been expanded.

The grant now includes eligible vacant properties in more remote rural areas of Sligo.

The scheme's expansion will help bring vacant and derelict properties back into residential use and ensure the existing housing stock is used to the fullest extent possible.

It will also help limit emissions from residential construction and add vibrancy to Sligo's rural areas.

Under the grant, €30,000 is available to homebuyers to refurbish a home which they will live in.

Where a property is derelict, a maximum top-up grant amount of up to €20,000 will be available, bringing the total grant available for a derelict property up to a maximum of €50,000.
