It's claimed a newly introduced housing grant will revitalise Clare's rural towns. The Department of Housing has announced the extension of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant to 2030, while introducing a new scheme for above the shop units. The initiative can provide up to €140,000, to bring vacant spaces above existing commercial premises into residential use. Lisdoonvarna Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy believes entire communities will benefit.
