Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council Cllr. Declan Burgess said that the grant is supporting people across County Tipperary to bring these vacant and derelict properties back into use as homes.
"The Vacant Property Refurbishment grant was introduced to help bring derelict properties back to life as affordable homes.
So far in Tipperary €7,064,277 in grants have been drawn down.
We can see the number of grants being paid out continuing to rise significantly each quarter as works on properties are completed. It’s fantastic to see so many people in County Tipperary availing of this grant.
Across the country, €112.5 million has been paid out since the grant was launched in July 2022, showing the importance of the scheme."
