The Census earlier this year in Ireland revealed that there were almost 260,000 homes vacant around the country. This figure represents almost 15pc of all homes and excludes holiday homes. Indeed, in rural areas, one in five properties is vacant – this is an average and in the rural parts of some counties, such as Kerry and Limerick, almost one in three homes is vacant.
But even in towns and cities, over 10pc of homes are vacant. This fraction is smallest in and around Dublin, with just 5pc of homes in South Dublin County Council vacant in April. Given the acute shortage of housing that has emerged over the last five years, however, it is surprising that roughly 15pc of urban homes in Waterford, Carlow and Galway lie empty.
