Limerick derelict and vacant properties to feature on RTÉ Nationwide

Manon Gilbart, 20 Mar

LIMERICK properties will be featured on an RTÉ Nationwide programme

about dereliction and vacancies this Monday.

Limerick City and County Council will make an appearance in the

programme as they are in support of property owners bringing new life

to vacant and derelict properties, in a bid to help renew local

communities.

The programme will feature a number of properties in Limerick that have

been returned to use, this Monday, March 20, at 7pm on RTÉ One.

Limerick City and Council are encouraging owners and potential

purchasers of vacant or derelict sites to engage with them.

Director or Services, Community, Tourism and Culture, Gordon Daly,

commented: “Making better use of our vacant and derelict building stock

helps with the physical regeneration of our city, towns and villages

but equally important, it breathes new life into our communities

including sustaining schools, shops and community and sporting

organisations all of which contributes to enhancing the quality of life

for existing and new residents.”

Limerick City and County Council are encouraging owners and potential

purchasers of vacant derelict sites to engage with them, as there are a

number of schemes available to help owners reactivate vacant or

derelict properties.

For example, with the vacant property refurbishment grant, homeowners

will receive support with up to €50,000 grant to help them make a

vacant or derelict property their principal private residence. And,

even a property that had prior commercial use can be supported to

become residential.
