Longford County Council has secured one of the largest allocations nationally under the scheme, outside of the major cities around the country.

The council is being given almost €2 million euro which will allow them to bring 41 long term derelict houses back into use for the first time in years.

The funding will also allow for 24 houses that have been vacant for a shorter period to be refurbished.
