Moving to the islands of Ireland? The government will bear the cost!
Dublin: Are you ready to move to one of Ireland’s island communities? Then the Irish government is ready to spend up to 80,000 on your behalf.
The initiative is part of Ireland’s ‘Our Living Islands’ project. This is a scheme that provides cash incentives to those willing to relocate to one of the more than thirty islands within the country’s borders.
The offer is more than eighty thousand euros for those who choose to apply for the scheme. Starting July 1, you can apply for this programme. Don’t have any idea that this money will be safe in the bank! There will be government restrictions on disbursements as well as spending.
As Ireland’s population grows, the government intends to use more habitable spaces. According to the government’s official website, the government intends to ensure the settlement of offshore islands and the development of island regions in the coming years.
‘Our Living Islands’ programme
Ireland assists those who have relocated to 30 islands that are separated from the mainland by bridges. This amount is given as assistance to preserve and renovate abandoned buildings while moving to those places. Therefore, the payment will be under control. Those who want to come here should buy a house on one of the islands. The house must have been built before 1993 and must have been vacant for two years. Funds are proposed to be used for remodelling, insulation, and structural improvements to the building.
Thirty Islands, including Dublin
The 22-hectare Ireland’s Eye Island, which is minutes from Dublin’s Howth Harbour; the three islands of Shenick, St Patrick’s, and Colt’s Island, which are two kilometres from Skerries; Bull’s Island in the sea opposite Raheny and Kilbarrack; and the famous Dalkey Island under Dun Laoghaire County Council, are all adjacent islands to Dublin. But only thirty of the eighty islands are included in the project.
The government website states that this scheme aims to help those who want to live on offshore and onshore islands. The government wishes to preserve the island’s culture, heritage, and natural resources. Many other projects, as well as the necessary financial assistance and other expenses, will be funded by the government. In short, if you want to start new businesses or contribute to the development of the islands, you will receive separate grants and government incentives.
The small islands surrounding Ireland are becoming increasingly unpopulated. To address this issue, an innovative relocation programme known as Our Living Ireland is being implemented. You can apply for this scheme beginning on July 1st.
Ireland, like many other countries, is facing demographic challenges. Ireland’s problems include an ageing population, a low birth rate, and a skilled labour shortage. To address these issues, the government has launched a programme to attract finance, medical, and information technology professionals.
The programme offers a tax credit of up to 20,000 per year for five years to those who qualify, as well as financing for startups, relocation expenses, networking, and access to job search resources. The programme’s goal is to bring the best professionals to Ireland and encourage them to stay for the long term.
