About the Living City Initiative

Earlier this month the Minister for Finance Michael Noonan T.D, accompanied by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government launched the Living City Initiative. The focus of this new initiative is on the regeneration of the historic centres of six cities throughout Ireland - Dublin, Cork, Galway, Kilkenny, Waterford, and Limerick by making available tax relief for owner-occupiers who refurbish relevant residential and commercial properties built before 1915. The implementation awaits the final sign off of the ministerial order.
