I am highlighting the initial qualification for the scheme, For example
House currently vacant for over 2 years
-Apply for the Croi Conaithe scheme and move in when work is carried out
-Meet all other criteria of course
House Currently vacant for over 2 years
-Offer house for 6 months to local authority to house a Ukrainian family, lose eligibility to Croi Conaithe at that point.
If someone is working away and owns a vacant house they hope to move back to and upgrade and then live in, they cannot make that house available in the interim as it must sit vacant to qualify for Croi Conaithe, seems like a missed opportunity to make more property available.
