View answerIn acknowledgement of the administrative overheads for local authorities in managing the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant and the Ready to Build Scheme, the Department provides an initial supporting allocation of up to €180,000 to each local authority in respect of processing applications for both schemes, which are funded under the Croí Cónaithe Towns Fund, as follows:
• Up to 50 applications received - €60,000
• 51 – 100 applications received - an additional €60,000
• Over 100 applications received - an additional €60,000 (in total - €180,000)
