Former drinking establishments looking for change of use spread across 24 local authority areas with 12 in Mayo alone
The former drinking establishments are expected to ultimately provide 169 housing units.
The pubs that have applied for the scheme are spread across 24 local authority areas although Co Mayo has by far the largest take-up with 12 individual properties. Figures indicate the county has seen a quarter of its public houses close since 2005. The Irish landscape is peppered with shuttered locals. Research published by the Drinks Industry Group of Ireland last summer showed 21 per cent of the country’s stock had closed between 2005 and 2021. Most counties saw a decline of more than 10 per cent.
“There is no fear that residents might have about there being major changes to the footprint of these areas,” he said. A Department of Housing spokesman said local authorities were advised to put appropriate monitoring and inspection arrangements in place to ensure compliance.
