"Only 32 sites across the country have benefited from a scheme that was launched to tackle vacancy in towns and villages and allow people to build homes."
"Since 2022, local authorities have been able to make vacant sites available for sale at a discount on the market value so that individual buyers could build a home on the land."
A national project aimed at reviving towns and villages in Ireland has only benefited 32 sites since its launch. The initiative, started in 2022, allows local authorities to sell vacant sites at discounted prices to enable individuals to build homes. This limited progress has prompted politicians to call for an urgent review of the scheme to assess its effectiveness and address the ongoing vacancy issues in these areas.
