The ROI government plans to make serviced sites in regional towns and villages available to self-builders.
The ROI Department of Housing says a pilot programme will be initiated as part of a Croí Cónaithe (Towns) fund, to “facilitate the making available of some 2,000 sites for homes by 2025, depending upon demand, and to design support funding for the refurbishment of vacant properties,” a spokesperson for the department told Selfbuild.
The fund will service sites in regional towns and villages, to sell on to people who want to build their own home. The fund will also support the refurbishment of vacant houses.
