REVEALED: Over 50 homes in Tipperary received the Vacant Property Grant in 2025
Figures revealed today show that 52 homes in Tipperary benefitted from the grant, designed to bring derelict homes back into use.
52 homes in Tipperary have received the Vacant Property Grant in 2025, a TD in Tipperary has said.
Fine Gael TD Michael Murphy said the grant is helping tackle dereliction and vacancy in towns and villages across Tipperary.
“I’m delighted to see 52 homes brought back into use in Tipperary. We all want to see the vacant buildings across our towns and villages being used and this grant is key to turning them back into homes.

“Under the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, you can receive a payment of up to €70,000 to turn a vacant or derelict house into your permanent home.
“Across the country more than 3,000 previously disused homes were returned to use in 2025 with this grant. Since the launch of the scheme in 2022, 12,096 applications have been approved and grants paid out on completion of works are a total of almost €247m.
“More and more applications are being approved every year with the grant payments in 2025 more than double those in 2024. I’m keen to see this trend continue with more disused properties becoming homes for people.
“This grant is key to repurposing the buildings we already have, to boost available accommodation and also rejuvenate our towns and urban centres.
“Fine Gael is committed to helping more people in Tipperary own their own home and increasing supply is key to achieving that. The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant is helping bring buildings back into use and revitalising our communities,” concluded Deputy Michael Murphy.
