evidence: Updated, June 29: The headline of this article was changed after publication to clarify that this program will pay you to refurbish a house; it is not a subsidy for moving to one of the islands. Information in the article has also been updated to make this clear. [...] The program is called "Our Living Islands," and it’s a visionary project from the Irish government that aims to rejuvenate around 30 sparsely populated offshore spots. [...] Some of the islands in the program include Arranmore, located off the coast of County Donegal along the magnificent Wild Atlantic Way; rugged 150-foot cliffs dominate the skyline. Then there’s Clare Island off the coast of County Mayo, which is known for its sandy beaches and epic hiking. Bere Island is a quiet paradise popular with walkers, cyclists, bird watchers and plant lovers. Inis Mór, one of the Aran Islands, was a location for the 2022 Oscar-nominated film The Banshees of Inisherin.
