€3 million in vacant refurbishment grants for Co. Tipperary

Published 1 month ago 05th March 2025 by Reporter

€3,355,173 in funding will help bring vacant properties across Tipperary back into use, said a Fine Gael Deputy.
Deputy Michael Murphy today (Tuesday) welcomed the news that €3,355,173 has been awarded in grants for the refurbishment of vacant properties across the county.
“The vacant property refurbishment grant was introduced to help bring derelict properties back to life as affordable homes.
“While Fine Gael is determined to increase the supply of new homes for people to buy, it is also vital that we get the best use of existing housing stock. That’s why the Government introduced funding to bring vacant and derelict properties back into use and make these an affordable option for those seeking to buy their own home.
“The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant has proven very successful since its launch with over 11,300 applications received and over 7,700 approved as at end of December 2024. Some 400 applications are being received monthly, with nationwide interest in the grant and applications being received across all local authorities.
“By repurposing the buildings that we already have, we are boosting available accommodation whilst also rejuvenating the towns and urban centres we know and love.
“In Tipperary, €3,355,173 in grants have been drawn down, which is a considerable increase since the scheme was established and I am expecting there to be a continued increase in the number of grants paid in 2025.
“Fine Gael are committed to helping more people in Tipperary own their own home and increasing supply is key to achieving that. This grant helps bring buildings back into use and breathes new life into our communities”, concluded Deputy Michael Murphy.
