Ireland offers $92,000 incentive for living on remote islands

The Irish government has launched the "Our Living Islands" program to rejuvenate sparsely populated islands along its coast. The program aims to revitalize population levels on around 30 offshore islands, which remain in public ownership and are cut off from the mainland by the tide. From July 1, those interested in moving to one of the islands can receive up to €84,000 ($91,692) for buying a derelict property in their chosen location and saving it from ruin. 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.
