Ireland's Vacant Property Grant restores 7,162 homes, €15m paid in Sligo

Ireland's Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant has brought 275 homes back into use in Sligo, with over €15m paid out, contributing to a national total of 7,162 restored properties. The scheme addresses housing supply and urban regeneration, though its broader economic impact remains modest. This continues an established policy trend rather than marking a deviation.
