Island dwellers will be offered up to €84,000 to convert derelict houses into new liveable accommodation under an enhanced housing scheme to be unveiled on Wednesday.
Rural and Community Development Minister, Heather Humphreys, will be on the beautiful island of Arranmore, Donegal, to announce the launch of ‘Our Living Islands’ – the first national island policy in 27 years.
Part of the plan will see a call-out to those with vacant or derelict properties on our offshore islands to convert them into liveable properties again to help tackle the housing crisis.
