QUESTION NO. 37

QUESTION: Councillor N. Whelan

To ask the Chief Executive how many derelict property top-up grants have been applied for and awarded since January 2024?

REPLY:

A derelict top-up grant amount of up to €20,000 is available for properties that are confirmed to be derelict. To qualify for the top-grant, the applicant must submit an independent report prepared by an appropriately qualified professional confirming that the property is derelict i.e. structurally unsound or dangerous. The property can also be deemed derelict if it is on the local authority’s derelict sites register. The total grant available for a derelict property is therefore up to €70,000.

The table below details the number of derelict property top-up grants that have been applied for and awarded since January 2024.
