"$92,000 offered to move to remote Irish islands with a catch"

The Irish government has launched the "Our Living Islands" program to rejuvenate sparsely populated islands along its coast, offering up to €84,000 ($91,692) to those interested in buying a derelict property and saving it from ruin. The program aims to revitalize population levels on the islands, which are cut off from the mainland by the tide. However, it is unclear whether people from overseas who do not have visas to live and work in Ireland are eligible to participate in the program. The government plans to work on 80 commitments over the next three years, including improving housing and water infrastructure, providing better access to essential healthcare and education services, and developing sustainable tourism.
