On the 14^th July 2022 the Croí Cónaithe (Towns) Fund was launched. This Scheme will support bringing vacant and underused buildings in our towns and villages back to residential use.

The Croí Cónaithe (Towns) Fund will benefit those who wish to turn a formerly vacant house or building into their permanent home and become part of the community in the area, furthering the aim to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit, while also functioning as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community.

On the 15^th November 2022, the scheme was extended to include eligible vacant properties in both cities and rural areas.
