Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (Croí Cónaithe): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access state funding for renovating vacant or derelict properties in Ireland to turn them into your new primary home.

Who it's for
This scheme is designed for people who are buying properties that are currently vacant or in a state of disrepair.

To be eligible, the property must have been vacant for a minimum of two years.
