Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 October 2023
371. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the supports available to individuals seeking to purchase log cabins as a primary residence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42643/23]
View answerA range of supports are available for persons who wish to purchase their primary residences. These include examples such as the First Home Scheme which has recently been extended to people building their own homes, the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, and the National Home Upgrade Energy Scheme.
These supports are not directed towards specific building types.
All new dwellings must comply with the building regulations, building control requirements and achieve a 60-year durability for all key elements.
