People are being offered £72,000 to move to a stunning island

People could get paid up to £70,000 if they move to one of a number of stunning islands off the coast of Ireland.

Irish rural and community development minister Heather Humphreys announced a new scheme earlier this month that will see people given large grants if they turn a vacant house on any of around 30 islands and turn it into a permanent home or a holiday rental.
