Fingal County Council will be hosting an information evening later this month to raise awareness of grant schemes that can ease the financial burdens faced by property owners and potential property owners interested in bringing vacant and/or derelict properties back into use.
The event will take place on the 23rd of September 2025 at the Tara Suite, Grand Hotel in Malahide and will see the Council’s Vacant Homes Team and Architectural Conservation Office outline what opportunities exist for those interested in undertaking restoration projects across the county. The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) will also be present to provide information on available grants.
A key focus of the session will cover the Croí Cónaithe Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant scheme. The initiative has seen over €8.65 million in grant payments approved for 170 applicants across the county since launching over three years ago. Under the scheme, grants of up to €50,000 are available for the refurbishment of vacant properties for use as either principal private residences or rental properties, with an additional €20,000 grant available if the property is derelict.
The SEAI will be present on the night advising on their range of grants to make homes more energy efficient, as well as how the SEAI grants can be used in conjunction with the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant as part of an overall refurbishment of a vacant and\or derelict property.
Information stands will be open from 6.30pm with presentations from the Council and the SEAI commencing at 7pm. The event is open to citizens from all parts of the County.
