A country pays $90,000 to those who want to live on its "idyllic" islands
Ireland is examining which abandoned homes it could apply its new policy to
Ireland is seeking to pay money for those who wish to move there to live in a house on one of its islands, according to CNN.
The network said that the country will pay $90,000 for those wishing to move into a beautiful island home to live a idyllic rural life away from the chaos and hustle and bustle of modern life.
And Ireland just announced a plan to revitalize more than 20 idyllic islands off its west coast, including Achilles, whose stunning landscape was featured in the Hollywood movie The Banshees of Inisherin, as well as the 10 Irish-speaking Gaeltacht islands.
Increased grants of up to 84,000 euros (about $92,000) will soon be offered to people who want to renovate vacant or abandoned homes to live in.
The network conveys that potential islanders should be aware that although there are no restrictions on who can buy property in Ireland, owning a place does not guarantee you the right to live there.
Reports indicated that the grant is provided in order to renovate vacant and abandoned homes in order to make them habitable, which constitutes a temptation for many who prefer to live in European countries.
Referring to the Irish government website, there are about 30 islands off the coast of the country, which are an integral part of its heritage and culture, and the attempt to reconstruct it falls within a tight policy, based on five high-level strategic goals.
This policy has been identified by the islanders themselves as being of key importance to the sustainable future of their communities:
1. Population increase.
2. Diversification of economies.
3. Strengthening health and welfare services.
4. Enabling residents of all rights.
5. Building a smart and sustainable future.
The policy is accompanied by an action plan for the period 2023-2026 that includes 80 time-bound actions that will be implemented by various stakeholders, led by a designated ministry or government agency.
